Cedar Bubble T-Day Tennis & the Basin Boys!


The annual Cedardale open house was held Thursday with food and activities for all ages. The boys from Winnekenni Basin made their tenth year appearance and brought a little street tennis to the refined atmosphere of the Dale.

Zeke & Mighty Joe vs. Master Loi & Viagra Vic (6-3, 2-6, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2)
The holiday spirit could be felt in the rarefied air of one of New England's top tennis clubs in the region. The sides were set. The first set started very slow for Zeke and Mighty Joe who fell to an early 4-0 deficit. They slowly fought their way back to an almost respectable 6-3 loss. However the momentum shifted 360 in the second and third sets with Mighty Joe and Zeke dominating play with solid serves, ground stokes and blistering volleys. But in the end Master Loi's consistency and great defense enabled Viagra Vic and Loi to go on and win the last two sets in comfort and style. A great time had by all, and once again the Toadman was in parts unknown.
