6/15/16:

 

“Toth drops out! Mole-Capan 1-Setter at RHP!”:

               

Much like the day prior, before any official session could occur, the biggest news of the day came via e-mail from “C.A.T.” Christine Toth.  She informed both “Hollywood” Frank Samara and “The S Bomber” Genalin Capan that she would have to drop out of the GTA Women’s Championship Tournament.

 

The reason: Her mother is in deteriorating health.  As such, she requires more of Christine’s care and attention.  It is hard for Christine to commit to any set and/or scheduled matches as things can change for her at a moment’s notice.

 

On behalf of the entire GTA, I wish Christine, her mom and her entire family all the best that is possible at this time.  I can relate to her situation as I experienced a similar set of circumstances with my now late father a little over a year ago.  Everything is day to day as you don’t know what the next one will bring.

 

As a result, Gen now advances to the Semifinals via a bye where she will face Laura “The Aura” Gawley.

 

Speaking of Ms. Capan, she acted as the impromptu host of a small session at Robin Hood Park.  There were no results sent in from Cedar Grove.

 

We go to Gen’s report now.

 

The RHP Result:

 

Mike Mole over Genalin Capan, 6-3!  No Aces.  It was played from 5:15 to 5:55.

 

Vinnie De Benedetto arrived just as Mike was leaving.  Vin and I hit for another 15 to 20 minutes before calling it a night.  Mike and I had started hitting at 4:45.

 

Samara’s Notes: I thank Gen for sending in her notes in a very timely manner.

 

Sincerely,

Frank Samara
