RO Lancaster 3.5 adult team chinch playoff spot.

Although this team is full of old timers, they successfully staved off the youngsters to gain a seat in the playoffs by beating Cleveland Racquet Club 3-2 on Wednesday. Things were relatively quiet as their singles player kept his cool this time. (Where was Egon?) Thanks to our proxy captain Rick. Captain Lancaster had gone diving, and his senior team followed on Tuesday when Mucklo was the proxy.

What? Seniors Lose???

Well, it rarely happens, but yes, Dick's Seniors lost their first of the season by a 2-1 count to Chagrin Valley Athletic Club. Of course, the Captain cannot be blamed as he was vacationing (again). Ron & Chuck were defeated by the ever talented Staf Worely and Bob Stroup 7-6, 4-6, 1-0 on court one. Egon and Joe were victorious 6-1, 3-6, 1-0 on two and John and Mack lost to the foot fault brothers, Wigglesworth and Wigglesworth 6-4, 3-6, 1-0. We really should have won because their guys had more knee braces than our guys. Next week, the big one vs. Northridge . A win will clinch first place. See you on the courts!

Girls just want to have FUN!!!!

The "IT" Girls of Summer just want to have fun...and fun is EIGHT OHHHH!!!! The "IT" Girls of Summer remain undefeated going into the all star break!....Our last away match of the season at Raquet East Wednesday night was a victorious 4-1, bringing our record to 8-0. Way to go girls...let's keep working hard and playing hard, and the W's will come!!! We have July 4th off, and will return to the courts on July 11 at River Oaks vs. North Ridge 1.

Wings Beer and a Win for River Oaks

Five Seasons' Jim Seifer's 3.5 adult team put out a great spread of wings and beer even after loosing to River Oaks. I think they drink as much beer as we do. Wally Mueller used his unique spin to twist victory from Miguel Quinones 1 and 1. Grey Kennedy had a marathon match of over two hours against Jon Steinman. Grey was tested but won a second set tiebreak to cinch victory. In there ought to be a law category, Brian Reese of Five Seasons complained that Todd Renselman was too..00 tall to lob over. Tod played with Mack Thomas to easily take Brian Reese and Jim Seifer at 1st dubs. Two guys with 130 years between them, Lars Eriksson and Frank Mucklo teamed up to play Adam Ravens and Kevin Robertson, a couple of thirty somethings. Lars and Frank showed their age a bit in the second set but went on to win 6-1 6-4. Playing by themselves on the otherside of the club, Dick Lancaster and Rick Rogalski lost a long tight match to Tim Henahan and lefty Charlie Kutina. Darn those lefties.

And Seniors win again!

Lancaster's guys did again last night cruising to a 3-0 win over River Oaks 2, to go 7-0 for the season. Next week is a bye week and then home vs. CVAC on July 10. Have a safe and happy 4th! See you on the courts.

Looks kinda like the Courtroom.

Supers defeat North Ridge

Clark's super senior team devastated their nemesis North Ridge with a 3-0 win. Hank T had recruited a gaggle of new players this year, throwing the old ones to the wolves, in the hopes of once again reigning supreme over the super senior circuit. Our advice to ol' Hank...retire! The River Oaks boys are now in control.
