Irish Eyes Are Smiling
TT returned to the indoor courts of the YTC with a vengence after a three week absence. He and partner John "Irish" Gallagher paired up against "Big Al" & Frank "G-Man" Gentile in 2 and one-half sets of intense action. TT/Irish came away all smiles after their days' work, winning (6-3, 6-4) and leading in the partial set (3-2) before play was called. TT had it all working for him this afternoon, comfortably holding serve (5/6) and dealing 3 aces among an assortment of service winners. 'Irish' was effective with deep lobs to the defenders' back hands and slice forehands, sometimes hit in error off his frame, but getting the job done, nonetheless. Certainly it was the 'luck of (the) Irish' that sealed the fate of the two Italians on the other side of the cord. 'G-Man dumped too many easy returns into the net and 'Big Al' converted too few poaches to be a factor. The question is "will TT/Irish be up to the task in next week's re-match?"
