Ok I'm a little late getting you our scores for the week. But I have a good excuse. The Ban on Coors has now been lifted. The Sox tapped the Rockies 4 straight and the Pats are 8-0. Woo Hoo. Ok now onto the important news.
We took 5 points this week. Beating the slumping Bass River team 4-1. Narrowly missing a sweep by the hand of time. On court one Courtney and Paul had the only straight set victory. Starting off slow they picked it up and won.(6-4,6-1). Court 2 saw 4.0 teammates Bob and Andy start off a little out of sync, but they quickly regrouped for the (2-6,6-3,6-1) victory. On the court furthest from the audience (3) Don and Tony had a slight let down in the second set. But bounced back and took the third by a break.(6-2,2-6,6-4). Way over on court 5, George made his debut this year in grand fashion. partnering up with Todd they took another win for the team in 3 sets. outlasting their opponents in the third. (7-5,3-6,6-1)
Court 4 saw our only defeat this week. Mickey and Dean(ed: still on Vegas time) Lost a close one in three not quite finished sets. Needing only a couple of more minutes to close out the third, the buzzer sounded for the loss.(6-7,6-2,3-5).
Next week we play Winchester at home. Let's keep the streak going!!

Freaky Saturday.
What a weird week. I'm 0 for 2 setting up tennis this week. With Gary missing the practice on Tuesday and then George getting the Mike Mackay* award this week, it's a miracle we pulled out a win.
Oh yeah we Won this week.. This puts our season high winning streak at two. We won this week 3-2. It gives us 14 points for the season out of a possible 30. So point wise we are below .500.
Court one saw the First victory of the season for Adam and Courtney. They outplayed their opponents at the net and took a 6-4,6-4 straight setter. On Court number dos Paul and Todd won a tight 6-7,6-4,2-1 match. Paul is still alive despite Todd's 20mph serves and the bruise Todd received from Pauls return is healing fine. Our 3rd win came from the Money Team of Mickey and Dean who just refuse to lose winning in straights for the first time this year 6-3,7-5. ( Guys your gonna move up).
Our one loss this week came on court 3 where Tony and Mike ran into the energizer bunny. No matter how many winners they hit the ball kept coming back till they lost.(6-4,6-4). We had a default on court 4 due to some bad captaining. Like I said it was a weird week..
Next week we are in Bass River for an Away match of Epic proportions... See they have this new thing in Bass river called shot spot!! So no complaining about calls. Hopefully it measures ball speed because I would love to see 100mph. Not from my serve of course, but my return.
*last year in the first match of the season against Northeast Mike went to Northeast instead of Cedardale.

It's a Win
Ok I'm a little sleepy after staying up till basically 2am watching the Red Sox give the game away by putting in the (c)loser Gagne. So I'll keep this Short. And skip posting the Scores ;-)
What a great week the team had. We pulled out a 3-2 victory over the strongest Winchester Team. We also managed to get 4 points. That's a full 2/3 of the points that we had accumulated in the prior 3 matches combined.
Teams 3,4, and 5 won it for us this week. Over on court 3, Paul and Courtney rolled to the 3 set victory after giving up the first set. Courts 4 and 5 saw both matches come down to time. Don and Tony split the first two sets and then ran up a 3-0 lead in the third to take it on games. Over on 5 Dean and Mickey again lost the 2nd set(this time a lot closer than in the past). Then ran up a 5-2 lead in the third before the Bell rang and they had to settle for the win.
At court 1 Dan and Bob played a close two sets. Facing match points in the 2nd set tiebreaker Bob held and forced a third set. The only problem was that their was no time left and they ended up losing by one game. On court 2 Andy and Todd lost bad... How Bad?? So bad that Todd's rating now has a minus sign in front of it.
Next week we are at Northeast. A couple of our teammates are in California to play there Nationals. Good Luck Dan and Bob B. Don't forget "Out in Front"

Bagels anyone.
This was not one of our better weeks. Firstly it was absolutely beautiful out today. Secondly we had to go all the way to Manchester to play indoors. And third we got the snot beat out of us.
Manchester brought out their a-team members for a little warm up before their season. On court one Dan and Bob lost a close one 6-2,6-0. It looked like it might go Dan and Bob's way until Dan hit a perfect volley in the first game. Which caught the attention of Nick Bolletari who complemented Dan on his fine volley. After Dan shook his hand and had a brief discussion He didn't put another ball in the court.
On court two Courtney and Paul almost pulled out a win. Taking the first set in a tie break they lost the second set and were tied in the third when they ran out of time. Losing by one game..(6-7,6-4,2-2). ON Three Todd and Tony lost in straights 6-4,6-4 letting a winnable match get away from them. And way over on 4 Dean and Mickey finished 3 identical sets to lose a huge hitting match 6-2,2-6,6-2
Court 5 saw the Team of no-one and no-body lose 0 and 0
Hopefully next week we can win a match.. arrrgggghhhh
