Several ladies turned out for Monday morning tennis today. Some got a chance to practice for their matches tomorrow and are upbeat, happy, ready and excited to have reached the coveted Districts. I'm sure I speak for everyone at HEB in saying we wish our ladies (and our men) who also represent HEB at Pinehurst Country Club tomorrow, the very best of luck.

Hard Fought Matches

Last Thursday, our ladies senior 3.5 team  played at Railbender Park in Parker...and what matches they were! All three teams had to play for hours, and went to third sets and tiebreakers. The lights went on as darkness shrouded the courts, but the ladies kept going...and going...and going. I'm glad to report that the HEB ladies won all three matches, and some literally staggered off court after almost 2.5 hours! Well done team - we're proud of you.

The Monday Morning Ladies

This photograph was taken two weeks ago at one of the Monday morning tennis sessions. The sun was shining, we had little wind, and almost a clear, blue sky. The ladies are as follows: (left to right) Rita; Nancy; Anita; Neemie (Monday morning coordinator) Sosanna; Violet and Janice.

Coordinator for 2010 Monday Morning Tennis

We all thank Neemie for her commitment to the Monday Morning tennis session. Neemie volunteered for the whole of the season, and what a wonderful job she does! Every single week, she arranges the program, and  keeps everyone on target and on time. Thank you Neemie... from all the ladies at HEB tennis.

ITA Mixed Doubles Match at HEB

Three years ago, we had a mixed doubles ITA league, and we have another this year. It is a combined rated team of 7.5 players. We are glad to report that our team won all 3 matches: Ron & Jenny won #1 doubles 6-1, 6-4; Louise & Jim won 6-2, 6-2 and Jean & Larry won 6-1, 6-2. We have a number of 4.0's who play with 3.5's. It's not Senior league, so the teams we play can be pretty young.

The matches are played on Sunday afternoon through September. Please check the bulletin board for the scheduled matches and plan on cheering for our team whether at home or at the away matches.
