End of 2003!

The summer is at an end along with the hard fought battles on the grass (for this year anyway). The sun latest long enough for the finals to reach a 21-14 result in a game that was point-for-point until 10, when the winners slowly pulled away with the lead. All of the games were close with some intense moments and times of laughter and joking around.

All the skills of volleyball were used from crushing blocks to spectacular digs to over-bumps to win the game! Lori & Mike played hard with excellent setting and hitting that kept Mona & Tom off guard. Megan & Keith played a heart-felt battle against Lara & Mike and Mona & Tom (twice!). But in the finals, Lara & Mike pulled off a strong win over Mona & Tom with Megan & Keith coming in a strong 3rd, followed by Lori & Mike (after a rough weekend, they played very consistent).

After all was said and done after the money exchanged hands (Keith, did you take your 10% commission?), we all left with a feeling of stronger friendships and a positive outlook to doing this again next summer. A good group of people made this summer enjoyable and entertaining. This night was for money -- Lorne's tourny (Sept 14th) will be for bragging rights!

First day of finals

This Wednesday is the scheduled date for the finals. The Keith/Megan and Mona/Tom teams are showing up early to start at 6:30pm. The others can show later at 7pm.

I'm hoping we have enough light to finish -- maybe we'll be pointing the cars towards the courts and turning the lights on in case the sun goes down! Plus Keith needs light to count the money!

See you all then and good luck!!!
