Cedardale Green vs. Lexington

Hard to believe that we just played our last match of the season, ladies. And what a great run we have had in our debut to Women's A1 tennis! For the final line-up we all agreed to wear our red, black and white team colors, which obviously explains why Jeannie needed to call for a sub. Going out in a blaze of glory is our Cap'n who claims to have exhibited unsportsmanlike conduct on Court One. I personally saw nothing of the sort. Her opponents didn't file a grievance, no one cried, and all four women walked uninjured off the court at the end of the match. Really, how unsportsmanlike could it have been?

Danielle and Marybeth went to a tie-breaker, and even though Danielle was sporting her good luck circa Flashdance headband, they lost in the tie break. Would-you-puhleeese-eat-a-cheeseburger Lisa Raess and Leslie Bisson (who should eat a dozen or two) rocked us a team point. Lisa Brennan and our formidable sub, Linda France, had to fight to bring another point home and did. Ann and Susan, who are still being pursued by international modeling agencies, were schooled by a dayhiker just in from her monthly National Audubon Piping Plover meeting. Now that's just wrong. WRONG I tell you.

Julie and Sam, our dynamic duo of sweetness, put up a great game against the backboard sisters while Dorian and I attempted a push for a fourth consecutive win next door. Best Divine Ms. D quip du jour: "Anything traveling that fast should have a flight attendant on board!" Add an overly distracting '80s hair accessory and repeated Eastern European accented tennis commands from our opponents and you KNOW where this one ended! Maybe we could buy a few things for Marcel to sport during practice to help with some desensitization therapy. The goggles clearly aren't enough!
