By Sherry Benz & Ruth Liu for Publication 11/3/2023 Villages Tennis Club vs Rossmoor The plaque is back! The Villages and Rossmoor Tennis Clubs have challenged each other for decades and the prized trophy plaque has changed hands frequently (although the Villages holds an edge!). In April, we traveled to Rossmoor and lost in a very close battle. On October 21st, we hosted Rossmoor with one thing in mind: bringing the plaque home!
The weather was perfect. Competition was awesome. If you were in attendance, you witnessed incredible tennis play. We are proud to report that the “Winner’s Plaque” stays with us. We won 20-4! Congratulations to the one married team: The Fergusons: Jim & Wendy … still a great team after all these years!
After all the sweat, aches, and joy of winning, we were able to share lunch with everyone in attendance. Thank you, tennis players, for your athletic contribution and winning spirit. Thank you, Linda DuMont and your hospitality team, for doing a great job preparing breakfast and lunch. Thank you to Glenn Seidel and Robert Diaz for manning the BBQ. Thank you to all the volunteers who made everyone feel welcomed. Thank you to the cheerleaders for your support. Thank you, Ruth Liu, for organizing the event. At the end of the day, no matter what the outcome, friendships were made, competition was fierce, and the tradition of this tournament will continue on to next year.
