The Rossmoor Men Win

The Rossmoor Over 60 Men's Doubles League hosted the Round Hill Country Club team in a hard fought match at the Buckeye Tennis Courts on Dec. 10 ... winning a well played match 3-2.    The Round Hill team enjoyed a lunch in the tennis club social area and complimented the Rossmoor Tennis Club on its new tennis facility and its beautiful setting.

In this 5 team match, Randy Kuhl and Bob Walgren lost the first set 3-6, then went on to win the second set and the third set tiebreaker 7-5, and 10-7 respectively.   Larry Barclay and Al Schwartz lost their match in two sets, 2-6, 3-6.

Mike Ying and Allan Tam won their match splitting the first two sets 3-6, 6-4 then going on to win the third set tiebreaker 10-5. John Lee and Rolf Kvalvik lost their match 1-6, 2-6.

The critical third win for Rossmoor was the team of Murray Veroff and Ron Wyman who sat around waiting for one of Round Hill's players to show up.   After waiting for an hour, the Round Hill captain defaulted and conceded the match to Rossmoor.    Hey!   A win is a win!   Right?

The team would like to thank the other team members that came out to root for them.   Thank you Lenny Cook and Joe Potozkin!
