Happy Holidays, The first half is Over
The first half of the season is now officially over. We ended it just a fraction over .500. Not to bad but we can do better in the 2nd half. This week we won 3-2 and for a first so far this year no matches were decided by the clock.
On Court 1 Adam and Evan cruised to an easy 6-1,6-2 win. 2nd position saw Dan and Bob lose in straights(6-3,6-4). They never got into sync, and their opponents kept it that way making every net cord shot in the book.
Two more wins came from positions 3 and 4. Todd and Andy survived a loose first set.(4-6,6-3,6-2) Paul and Tony then had a streaky win(6-1,1-6,6-1). Over on 5 Don and Mike, came up a little short in the third.(7-6,2-6,6-0) ;-)
We start our playoff push on January 6th at Northeast. We lost to them in week one and need to deliver a little payback in the New Year. So rest up and get ready to kick some @$$ in the 2nd half, and have a great Holiday Season.

.500 Again!
Wow what a road trip. Not only did I have no luck fielding a full team, We lost. Ok technically we split 2-2 but with our first Default of the Year we Lost. It was a long drive but at least the Lunch afterwards was good. Ok on to the wrap up!
In First position a Sleepy Todd and Andy won a match that started at 9:30am.(6-4,6-4) It shouldn't have been as close as the score looks.
Over on two, Dan and Paul had a great match, Losing by only a game due to time.(6-7,6-3,2-3)(ed: their opponents getting water every other game didn't help) This was easily the best match of the day with great volleys and serving all around. With it coming down to the last couple of points, it could of went either way.
On Three, Don and Tony(hurt shoulder) Pulled out a great win. Don made just some incredible volleys off of overheads and Tony gave em the "touch shots of death" at the net to win.(6-7,6-0,6-4)
Over on 4, Mike and Ken(ed: playing in his 1st match) ran into a crafty Veteran and his apprentice. Playing on a very slick and badly lit court. They ended up losing 6-4,6-2. On 5 we Lost by default, We should have been able to field a 5 team but I dropped the ball a bit.
Next week is our last match of the Year!! And it gives us a Chance to close out the First Half Above 500%. We Play against my old Club Newburyport. We all know what that means. Revenge. ;-)

Cedardale 3 Willows 0
What a great Match we just had. It's always nice to beat the Willows. But to beat their best team 4-1, Come on! This gives us a 3-0 record against the Willows for the first half of the season. I've said it before and I'll say it again we are the Red Sox and the Willows are the Yankees, and I don't like the Yankees.
Ok on court 1, Adam and Evan(to good for league?) ;-) Playing against one of our favorites. Found the time to give themselves a Win in a tight match(7-6,6-6).
Over on 2. Bob and Dan Played a great match against a very tough team to Pull out the Win by one game(5-7,6-4,3-2). This match had some just incredible points at the net.
On 3 Todd and Andy played just ok enough to win(7-6,6-3). Todd couldn't serve and Andy couldn't return but each pulled it together for the big points to get the win.
Court 4 saw the hardest hitting of any match as Paul and Chad took cover behind the baseline to return as many missiles as possible. The willows snuck one of their #1 teams over to court four for the win. but just barely as Paul and Chad were ready to take it as time ran out.(3-6,6-2,4-4)
On 5 Don and Mike Played a great match winning in straight sets(7-6,6-4). This was a good win to get from the anchor team as it pushed us up over .500 again and puts us in a good position for our last two matches of the first half.
