"All,
The weather was touch and go all day, but somehow we played our last playoff match against Vanguard & won 2-1. They definitely improved during the season & made the match tougher than I expected. The two Donnas & Janet combined to win the women’s doubles 6-1 & 7-6 (TB 7-3) while Dave & I won the men’s doubles 7-5 & 6-4. In the mixed doubles Donna M. & I won our set 6-1, but Bill & Janet lost their set 0-6. Donna & I played the tiebreaker but lost it 3-7 in the growing darkness. Overall, Wyeth finished 1^st for the second year in a row while we improved to 2^nd after finishing 3^rd in 2008. Sungard finished the season 3^rd & Vanguard was 4^th. We all had a good time at the party & awards presentation, but you had to be quick at the food table or wait around for the second round.
I’d like to thank everyone for their cooperation during the season having to deal with less than ideal weather & several rescheduled matches. Let’s hope for better weather for the 2010 GVCC season! It’s obvious after the past 2 years that we’ll have to upgrade the team if we want to finish 1^st next year. Guess I’ll have to go out and recruit some 4.5 or higher players. If you know any, put in a good word about joining our team.
Regards,
Steve"
