Too often we only lament failures and disappointments, and we do not see failures and disappointments as challenges for us to overcome.” “Post-COVID we’ve had quite a bit of success at the Everest Cricket Club.”

You will still find a 72-year-old man playing table tennis with national champions. You will still find versatile people playing squash, lawn tennis, table tennis and pickleball.”
