Week
5
- Controversy on Court 4 For
the second week in a row, a Waynesborough 1 team has
been defeated on Court 4 by a goggled player. Once shunned by the APTA, MAPTA
and other paddle authorities, this trend appears to be with us in D1. This
week’s victims were none other than famed derivatives expert Jim
Ryan and future MAPTA Hall of Famer Tom
Safford. Incensed that there is something innately unfair and there could be
no other reason as to why he lost last night, Jim has vowed to fund a study at
MIT and would like to see the goggle banned in future competitions. You may see
Jim this weekend picketing at various locations this Saturday during the MAPTA
tournament with signs stating "Ban
the Goggles". MAPTA President Andrew
Sorrentino, whom by the way was not available to play or apparently watch
the match stated that he wished the tournament participants would ignore Jim at
the venues and hope this will all go away some day. Tim
Curvan, this week's goggled partner thought that Jim was just a sore
loser as Mr. Safford took his second consecutive week’s loss to a goggled
player in stride and could not have been a nicer gentleman. Oh by the way,
Waynesborough 1 (5-0) defeated Aronimink (3-2) by a score of 8 sets to 4 to
remain undefeated. The highlight of the evening was Drew
Friel's imitation of Alice of Mel's Diner from the former TV show
"Alice" serving and catering to the Way1 boys well into the evening.
This came after his straight sets victory with Brendan Kirk over the once unbeatable Tim McAvoy and Hank Oberly.
Waynesborough’s very own Dirk Diggler
won his fifth match of the season and he can be seen this weekend at MAPTA
tournament with last year’s Ninth Man Award winner, Vlatko Najdek.
Vegas went 1 for 1 with last week’s prediction, as they had Waynesborough as a 2 favorite over Aronimink and 3-5 for the year. Martins Dam (4-1) @Philly Cricket (5-0) (Martins is a 1 court favorite) Last weeks article: CLICK here!
