Despite the rain cancellations and the they posed, the Rossmoor Men's tennis team managed to have a match against the Crow Canyon Men's team at Rossmoor's Buckeye tennis complex on February 21. Coach Bernie Wolf had to work hard to reschedule matches due to the rain, but finally, he got lucky with good weather for the match.
Team members Jerry, Shrey, Rich, Stuart, and Bob Fries showed dedication by arriving early to help dry the courts, which surely helped ensure the match could take place smoothly. The weather turned out to be beautiful for the game.
However, the Crow Canyon teams proved to be tough opponents, winning two out of three matches:
- At line #1, Barry Brian and David Besenfelder were defeated with scores of 1/6 and 0/6.
- At line #2, Stuart Coffey and Richard Schulman also faced strong opposition and lost with scores of 4/6 and 1/6.
- The lone victory for Rossmoor came at line #3, where David Hickey and Al Peters emerged victorious with scores of 7/6 and 6/0.
Despite the mixed results, the players still enjoyed their post-match tradition of drinks and snacks, appreciating the chance to relax and bond after the competition.
