Well-done BTC! Another successful tournament specially organized for tennis enthusiasts of Bucay.
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!!
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.
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
Sete Sampras of Pidigan displaying impervious forehand volley at the net, Sete and his partner won this match. Our very own Dodong Nadal just before the anticipated game of the day, too bad the weather wasn't kind enough for this match, 4-3 for Pidigan. Mandy and Erick got tied at 7-7 for a draw, lucky for them to catch-up in the end of the game. To PIDIGAN CLUB, thanks for coming, Di namin alam songbird din pala si Pres. Reynald, bosing thanks again. 'til the next games.
During this tourney the club was divided into two groups, each with players from rank A to C. Team Coaches from bought groups prepare a battle plan to fight a pair w/c was then kept secretly until the start of each game. Although some players weren't able to come, Through rain, wind and descending darkness, the two team of the revived club swapped spectacular shots, until, against a slate sky, Team B headed by our President came several points ahead of Team A after two rounds of tennis doubles to capture the first ever tournament victory of this club.
Cguro last na ito for Cy '08, hopefully we can still schedule one more meet this coming December with maybe the team from Lagangilang or Pidigan. Sana may mahagilap kaming mga sponsors para atleast tipid, we all know that tournament fees are expensive and unaffordable to some. Ano Pres. kaya pa ng Isa? Our club is not even blessed with one lady Player, puro nalang maton siga at matador mga nandito, but anyway Tennis is all we're talking here! Christmas is in the airwaves already, yung mga may gustong mag Donate dyan for us "our" less fortunate friends. A racquet, shoes, shorts, wrist bands or anything for tennis sake, mejas pre??? Ok na rin. Here's the catch during that day, it's all mandy's day again!
It's amazing to see how much Bucay has bloomed and progressed over the past few years. We're truly proud to be from Bucay! A dual meet with one of the neighboring club could have been one of the highlights...
