Forever mysterious oval

Our world is full of mysterious places that hide their secrets in the dust of decades. - for sure, there are so many places that deserve an observer’s attention. Let’s see if this one belongs to your list.
Nowadays its the home for newcomer tennis enthusiasts in Bucay, kids, teenagers and even their parents can now be seen daily there. But what really makes this place mysterious?
We know it has a good tennis court but at night, many unexplained things happen there. Somebody claimed he'd seen a huge man smooking after a foul smell, dog the size of a cow were also noted on that place. Even Cars and tricycle barely lit in the middle of the oval w/c to many is the main reason why it's still mysterious.

A club is now being formed there, dubbed as BOTC " Bucay oval Tennis Club".
Mr Oding Macabeo and Emil Ponce I think were the organizers. To name a few of the players there;

1. Engr Romeo Trinidad
2. Jerome Torres
3. Bong Ponce
4. Boyet Ponce
5. Bonting
6. Notnot
7. Ian Torres
8. Mail Macabeo
9. Nolin Bersalona

Soon to be the sister club of BLTC. Way to go Bucay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An option to consider (Could be our second court)

This court is located at the oval near CBGMHS, the pavement is still good, just a good set of net and backstops then were good to go. Good for those am/pm session players, pila sa umaga pila sa hapon. (but wait, saan kayo kukuha ng net, ballstops and balls? don't worry we can work that out ssssoooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnn!!

Newly restored court

Its just now that were able to post this pics, Anyway here it is now, newly restored and of course courtesy of our Mayor by the inititive of pres. Henry.

FACE-OFF II (Lagangilang Club in Bucay)

It was always a pleasure playing with this club, maybe as some would say, we have the same no. of players in each ranks/levels. And so it was, till the last drop of beer. Find your score, its in the slides. Many thanks again to Lagangilang Pres., Archenda Bros., Treas, Kadong and the rest of the team. "Tennis is an addiction that once it has truly hooked a man will not let him go". No more, anymore.
God Bless...BLTC
