Triscuit Trifles

Not that we have anything against the Almighty Triscuit; in fact, I happen to be partial to the tomato and basil variety. We just don't like to see the Triscuit's reputation muddied by tokenism or snark. That's just wrong. To that we offer a resounding, "No thanks!!"

We don't have much time for these trivialities anyway. Just look at the antics of our Cap'n below. Who else can donate blood, take an evening match to a blazing super tie-break, return eleven missed calls, four text messages, down a rum and coke, and get felt up by a teammate? What is that hand doing anyway???? (Okay, I think Marybeth just finished taking her pulse again. We do love our team medical support (Kristine, Jeannie, Marybeth!). Who's better than the ladies of CG??!!

L-R Kathy, Marybeth, Danielle, Betsey, Ann, Shawn, and Julie

Cedardale vs. Westford












The ice pack industry has clearly grown as evidenced by our introduction to the neck bandanna debuted on Doubles 2. Since the remedy did not prevent Ann and Betsey from ripping a huge win over the injured player and her opponent, I am suggesting one of the models displayed here.

Ann (On!) brought her best Eirinn go Brach court demeanor, while Betsey displayed her usual force and finesse. Molly and Danielle played brilliantly, taking wins and enjoying the closeness of the competition. Frustratingly enough, Marybeth and Cap'n came up short in a super tie-breaker,but gave us great tennis to watch. Julie and Kathy, coming back onto the court following a month-long hiatus could have used a little more than luck on the court. Through laughter we shared our favorite swear words with one another, and you all know how much I appreciate etymology and the evolution of language. Point us. Bottom line is this: Cedardale Green - Match Win and Point. Westford: Zero.
