Saturday - Sept. 16, 2006

On a pleasant Saturday morning it was "Carmel and her guys" day since Carole bowed out with an injured back. Carmel and seven sundry guys made up the round robin. The replacement for Carole was Mathew who is a candidate for the tennis pro slot at the club.

The teams for the round robin were as follows:

Rudy and Harry
Richard C. and Onome
Bill and Carmel
Larry and Mathew

Each team was checking Mathew out as a tennis player and his team prevailed in all 3 rounds.

The results were as follows.

ROUND ONE

Bill/Carmel over Richard/Onome (6-2)
Larry/Mathew over Rudy/Harry (6-3)

ROUND TWO

Larry/Mathew over Bill/Carmel (6-1)
Rudy/Harry over Richard/Onome (6-5)

ROUND THREE

Larry/Mathew over Richard/Onome (6-5)
Rudy/Harry over Bill/Carmel (6-4)

It was well past "Beer Time" when we adjourned to the deck for refreshments. The goodies consisted of Carmel's cheese and cracker plate with some home grown pears that were delicious. She also had a bag of Jalapeno chips to spice up the day. Bill's salsa was very popular with the crowd. Harry had the healthy food, grapes. The drinks were provided by Larry and Richard. Richard also brought humus that Cathy had made and it was very popular with the crowd.

The ratings that changed after playing are as follows:

Rudy - 5.8
Larry - 5.2
Bill - 4.3
Richard - 5.1
Carmel - 5
Harry - 4.8
Onome - 2.9
Mathew - 6

All of the other ratings are as shown in the posting of Sept. 9.

We may be back next week.
