On a perfect night for paddle, the stage was set at Aronimink for the showdown between the reigning champions, Waynesborough and the most improved team of the season Philadelphia Cricket Club. There was a large turnout of spectators on hand as many of them had played in an earlier division finals in the area. First off the court was Court 3 which paired the two season undefeated team on court 3 of Steve Beers and Keith Studnick (Way-1) against John Talbot and J.J. Sabia, Jr. From the looks of this match, Waynesborough was going to have a good night as Suds and Studs took the first two sets in very short order as barely a lob was hit. The third set was much different as Sabia and Talbot ran off the first five games of the set playing inspired paddle and took the third set 6-1. Next off the Court was on court 4 which pitted the two undefeated teams of Court 4, Waynesborough’s Jim Ryan and Hank Oberly vs. P-Cricket’s Ritesh Nautiyal and Andy Addis. The Cricket team proved to be the strongest on the court last night and took the first two sets before dropping the third set to Waynesborough. On Court 2, P-Cricket sent out the crust veteran, Larry Hyde and Tom Harris against Waynesborough’s Captain Tom Safford and Dick Dunkel. This match turned into a typical barn burner as the first set was battled out for many long points in which had the Waynesborough tandem serving for the first set only to get locked into a tie breaker which the Cricket men won. The tie-breaker inspired the Cricket team to even higher heights and took some of the wind out of the sails of the Waynesborough team which gave Cricket the second set and the victory for the court. Set 3 was also a battle which had the Waynesborough team up 5-2 when Tom Harris came down with some serious leg cramps and this match ultimately did not get completed due to the results of Court 1. Court 1 which on paper was going to be a battle was between Waynesbroough’s Vlatko Najdek and Bruce Sopko against the Redpath brothers, Peter and Bruce. A large crowd gathered around the court as the match was ultimately going to be decided here. Both teams played brilliant paddle with each team splitting the first two sets. The Redpath brothers jumped out 5-2 lead in the third set, only to lose the next two games but had them now serving for the set at 5-4. With the title on the line, Cricket was able to hold serve and clinch the victory in time to get Tom Harris off the court and into a chair. Both teams had representation well into the Friday morning hours, where similar to the on-court victory, the Cricket men took home the off court victory in the Aronimink hut. Congratulations to the Cricket team whom last year finished with a record way under 500. Captain Tom as always gracious in defeat announced some changes to his line-up for 2009 but you will have to wait for next Fall. Have a great Spring and Summer and See you all Next Fall.

The
2009 Jr. Platform Tennis Nationals were held last weekend at various
venues on Long Island , NY. Though the bulk of the teams were from the
East coast, several flew in from Pittsburgh and the Midwest to fight for
the right to be called NATIONAL CHAMPION. When all the dust settled, the
last ball was hit and the cameras starting flashing - 2 Local teams stood
tall with GOLD MEDALS adorning their necks and NATIONAL CHAMPION forever
etched next to their names at APTA headquarters.
