Thursday morning, May 8 @ MTA Gym

Hi all,

We had four nets up and busy starting about 9:00 at the MTA gym, and with a couple of spares about 18 players! We welcomed back, Steve and Janet, who have moved to their summer spot in Linden, NS. Steve spoke of their 6 week winter break to Australia. He also said that they had not played pickleball for at least three months, so not to expect too much!!! Well, in only our groups typical competitive way, we initiated Steve by fire, partnering with me versus the strong team of Fred and Monique. Well, the game was not perfect, BUT we were able to come out with a victory. And, Steve, should I mention about the rematch??? Anyway, you probably can tell, game number two did not go so well!

In the second to last game to report, Debbie and I were battling Steve and Pam, and with the score a little lopsided and S and P reaching 11 with our team only at 5, we suggested to play to 15, because the rallies were so much fun! We all were tired, but as it turned out Debbie and I reached 15 first, so... why not play to 21??? We all slowly, walked off the court.

In the final match of the morning saw Steve Bourne and I take a commanding lead 9-0 or 9-1, versus Fred and Pam, only to fall to these two never give up players! NOW, we really left the courts tired!!! and defeated...

As we were packing up, we found a small brown coin purse on the bench. We have place in the front pocket of the pickleball bag. Also, we feel Jack played so hard that he played right out of his socks that were left. They too, are under the pickleball bags in the equipment room.

We next play tomorrow at the MTA gym at 1:00! Pickle on!
