Tennis Talk
By Betty Olsen
Sunday, June 9 was a big day for the Villages Tennis Club. First the viewing stands were filled with spectators to watch our Men’s USTA 7.0 team play their first playoff match against #3 team from Hollister. And the spectators were treated with food and drinks provided by our hospitality team of Nancy Domingo, Andrea Alvarez and their committee.
And to make it a perfect day for the villages, our team came out victorious, winning two out of three matches. The matches started at 11:00am and concluded at 1:00pm. Next playoff match will be against Silver Creek on Friday, June 14 at 6:30pm. Go Villagers!
Then there was just enough time to get ready for the club’s annual Bocce/BBQ at the new bocce courts. Lucky it was a beautiful day to be out and about. Lots of bocce was played and we were treated to entertainment by our villages dance group and the singing duet of Don Clarke and Lolivic Shaw.
Adrien Fournier was the M.C. and introduced Ruth Domingo Liu, our president, and her board for our official club meeting.
Marty Funcell then read a poem he wrote for the occasion of acknowledging the many volunteer hours that Brett Forman has contributed to the betterment of our tennis club and its members. Brett was presented with the poem and a gift.
And many thanks to all of the volunteers that worked the events on this day, especially the cooks!
