Saturday - January 20, 2007

The cold winter mornings are continuing on. This morning it was a degree or two warmer then earlier in the week when it went down into the twenties.

The teams were selected in accordance with the rating system and were as follows:

Rudy and Carole
Harry and Louise
Larry and Tina
Richard and Carmel

Rudy came nursing a cold and was very low profile in the first set. Half way through the second set he decided that he didn't feel so bad after all. Rudy and Carole won the last two sets. They tied Richard and Carmel who also won 2 out of the 3 sets. The remaining teams each won 1 out of the 3 sets. The results were as follows:

ROUND ONE

Harry/Louise over Rudy/Carole (6-2)
Richard/Carmel over Larry/Tina (6-5)

ROUND TWO

Richard/Carmel over Harry/Louise (6-5)
Rudy/Carole over Larry/Tina (6-3)

ROUND THREE

Rudy/Carole over Richard/Carmel (6-2)
Larry/Tina over Harry/Louise (6-0)

The deck was full after tennis since John's group also had 8 players. The refreshments today was one of the most elaborate spreads that we have ever had. There were lumpias with two different sauces (Carole), Brie and crackers (Carmel), Pollo Loco broasted chicken (Tina). Oranges (Harry), chicken wings (Louise), Tortilla chips (Richard) and drinks (the guys).

The ratings that changed due to today's play are as follows:

Larry - 5.2
Rudy - 5.1
Richard C. - 4
Harry - 4.7
Louise - 4.4+
Carmel - 5.4
Carole - 4.4
Tina 4.8

We'll be back next week.
