"The wild night is calling"

Vamos Vagas & Zeke vs. Viagra Vic & Mighty Joe (6-4)
Friday evening was very windy & ominous of rain & low laying clouds. Well, maybe it had to do with with my two day respite from work or perhaps it was he way it always was. But Christan Vargas and myself took out Victor G. (70+) & counting along with Mighty Joe, who hates losing more then work! It was a long hard fought on serve battle right to the end. Mighty Joe had some really long service games but held until his last. Zeke served it out after the break at 5-4. for the 6-4 win. Great close match.
Vamos Vargas & Zeke vs. Master Loi & Mighty Joe (6-3, 2-4)

In
the Winnikenni tradition of winners playing next team up, Christan & Zeke rolled on Loi & Joe in the first set (6-3) Then as the fading fall light slipped away, Loi & Joe had a clear 4-2 advantage. But the ball could not be seen until it was two feet in front of you. Not pleasant at all for the net men. Play was called om the account of darkness. both sets were marked by some unusual inconsistencies. We only had five players. Which is less than half of what we usually have turn out.
