General Doubles — Notes
VDSL
September 30th was opening night.
The Muckers (Broman et al) with a very able spare, Rick Kochanski, defeated the depleted Gringos 3/0 and 3/0. They will be tougher with a healthier Boyd and the return of Paul Austin and Greg Charalambous. Great to have Michael Smith back on court for league.
Tooley's team won both matches against VLT,
The only other Evergreen match was Tim Martin and his gang against Woolley's VLT crew. Haven't heard how that went.
Next week October 7th.
At Evergreen 6pm we have Gifford vs Tim Martin; and at 8pm Les Kerluke plans do a little surgery on the Fishin' Boys of Evergreen. At VRC 6pm Gringos take on VRC (Gord Pybus's old team) and at 8pm Tooley and his merry band take on Tony Quan.
Quick-Draws and Rick Kochanski's unofficial doubles head-quarters have the latest on league scores and schedules. League players should certainly book mark both these sites and keep informed and in the loop.
VLDSL
Ladies League is on October 1st and the following Thursday, October 8th, at Evergreen.Cathy Covernton is the contact person. The 9PM court will be opened for member booking.
Doubles with Viktor
Viktor is off to NYC for training and trying to get the biggest piece of the pie with partner Damien Mudge when they enter the biggest tournament of the year mid October.
Viktor and Morgan are staying in NY for a couple of months. He will keep in touch so that he can inject more of his spirited style of doubles into our club.
Nothing but praise from those who attended some of the 15 hours lead by Viktor.

When you looked up a member under the Member Roster section of the Evergreen booking system on Gigasports, it used to show phone numbers as well as an email icon; however, Gigasports removed the phone numbers due to privacy concerns. However, if you click on the members name, all their contact info is displayed. Including their Box Ladder win/loss records — some are not pretty!
