There's many a good tune played on an old fiddle.

The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune

My dad played fiddle as well.

I'll make the fur / Fly round the ears of the old cur.

The Ancient Mariner would not have taken so well if it had been called The Old Sailor.

We played a hard match tonight, but things just did not go our way. Tonight's match was a good tune-up for us in our preparation for the College Squash Association Team Championship.
