So Close.

Well we almost got our 2nd win of the season. There were alot of new matchups this week, and they almost paid off. The swing match of the week was in 3rd position where Tony and Mickey needing a couple more minutes lost by just one game( 6-2,5-7,4-5). In first position Bob and Dan owned the net and cruised to a (6-2,6-4) win. On court 2 Todd and Paul ran outta time before they were able to close it out and won by games (7-5,3-6,5-3). In 4th position Don and Gary, another new matchup lost a close one (6-4,7-5). And over on court 5, Mike and Neil(yet another new matchup)felt the time pressure after splitting sets and then getting down a couple of games in the 3rd to lose (6-4,4-6,6-0).

All in all not a bad week considering the new matchups and lack of matches for some of the new guys. Player of the Week goes to Bob. Yea Bob. ;-) Now it's off to Winchester next week to take on their 2nd team. Let's keep the road win streak going!!

Don't let this happen to your racket

First Win! 3-2

Ok we got our first team win of the Year! Dan and Todd posted a win with a flukey first set(0-6 ,6-1, 6-3). While Don and Paul dominated with an easy win(6-1, 6-2). Mike and Dean in 5, posted the "no show Double Bagle"!!(home team default) for the win. Some tough sets on courts 2 and 3. Mickey and Tony lost a close match (7-6,7-5). Bob playing with Mark(only his second time playing in 6 months) lost a frustrating match (6-3,6-1).

Not to bad for our 2nd match. Next week is another home match against one of the Winchester teams. This year they have droped down from 3 teams to 2 teams. That means they should have a strong team next week, which means good tennis.

We even owe more!

Ok so the Payback in week one was more of another withdrawl. With our team owing them even more in our next match.
There was some good news in our 1-4 loss though. Dean and Paul won, Bob kept his eye on the ball and Mike will now read his e-mails more closely. ;-)
The Bad news is that I found out that I might be to heavy for Adam to carry, Bob got hit in the Eye with the ball, hope he's alright, And Mike was late.

Next weeks match is AWAY! (Mike) At Bass River. They have a good team, So it should be some good tennis. Any Idea where we should eat lunch afterwards?

First Match = PAYBACK!

We get to start the season off right. A home match against Northeast. I wish all matches were at home. Not only would it be cheaper it would be closer. Plus when we have a home match, it means that one of the womens teams will provide food for us when we get done, Right??

Now I don't want to put any pressure on anyone. But some of you might remember that the team we are playing in week one, is the same team that beat us in the 4.0 league twice. Not only that but they also took second place from us by two points also. So this Saturday is Payback time.

No excuses just don't lose.*
