My apologies for not blogging since Sunday...but...even I get busy and have not had a chance to blog. Well...that combined with the fact that I ran out of vodka which is by my side while I write, that might have had something to do with it...
Sunday afternoon was a fun afternoon for all who came out to support the teams. Joanie whipped even more drink specials and kept the spectators happy. On court 1 we had A mixed with #1 seed Susan and Christian taking on #4 seeds Laura and Robert. Laura and Robert, fresh off their win over #2 seed team "Motoodle",were ready to attempt another upset. Laura and Robert , who in the semis beat team "Motoodle", played well. Unfortunately, Christian and Susan took the match in straight sets but with some really great rallies and shots by Laura and Robert, who took out team "Motoodle" in the previous match. Okay, okay, okay....sorry...but I just love saying "MOTOODLE!" Once again...so great to see Laura Croney back in the swing of things. Overheard on the court by Christian: "Laura...you haven't missed a step!" Good going Christian and Susan. We all know Susan carried Christian ONCE again...but I do mention his name out of courtesy. ;)
(Refill on vodka)..."Motoodle"...
Mixed B's held true to seed with #1 and #2 seeds respectively, Debbie and Michael taking on Julie and Andy. In probably the most entertaining match (if I should say so myself) of the afternoon...plenty of grunts, groans, screams, and yells were heard. Andy and Julie take the first set in a closely contested battle. Julie was suprised that a close first set finished so quickly...considering she had her share of LOOONG singles and doubles matches leading up to this final. 2nd place for longest time on the court to Julie. Luckily her explanation of matches still is much shorter for the holder of the longest court time. Do I dare mention the winner of that title? No....it will take too long to explain. Anywhooo....Debbie and Michael rally back with the second set. Up a break in the final set, Andy holds serve to take the match. Good work Andy and Julie. Michael matched up endurance wise with his male opponents this tournament considering the average age of most of his oppenents were under the legal age of 21 and average height was somewhere around the 4.5 foot level...
MUCH FUN was the after match scene at the bar with plenty of spirits flowing and good times and good laughs. Thanks again to Jackie and Julie for providing awesome baked goods on that Sunday.
And no, Max "whats your name"...the blog did not end due to my passing the title over as defending champion to someone else. Believe me....I may have passed the title...but NO ONE, and I say NO ONE is getting my effen tiara!
