CCAB Team Party

Thanks to Kirsten for opening up her lovely house and hosting a wonderful team party for the Crane Creek All Blacks. A good time was had by all -- which how can it not with wine like Stags Leap, amazing appetizers from the team, good ladies and the proprietary dance mix we were working with... :)

Celebrating at Sunray Cafe

Congratulations to a great, fun team! We go at it again tonight at CCCC, playing against the "All Whites" (our made up name for the other CCCC team :)

Up in the Air

Greetings after a bi-week and a match that has us biting our knuckles!

We played Happy Returns on 4/28 and unfortunately hit rain delays with Nooner's singles match, so we are all biting our nails hoping for a big "W" as we currently sit, 1-1.

April/Des - 1,6 and 1,6
Renae/Kirsten - 6,4 and 6,1
Nooner - 6,1 and 4,5

Nooner plays tonight, if she doesn't get rained out yet again. GOOD LUCK, NOONER!

This week we face a very friendly rivalry with the "All White" Crane Creek team, The Rice team. We wish everyone the best of luck, but most of all, the most fun!

Cheers,
CCAB

We are happy to report that we are 1 and 1, meaning we lost our first match and won our second match collectively. The specifics are as follows:

Sheehan Match (away): We finished the night with 1 win, 2 losses, increased team camaraderie, sassy pictures (thanks to Judith), and some fun stories!

Renae - 2,1

Love Hurts Match (home): We all played very well and are happy to report a team sweep.
April & Carmal - 2,1
Judith & Becky - 2,0
Renae - 2,1

We look forward to playing tonight if we don't get rained out and will update the next post with pictures. Roster is as follows:
Kirsten & Renae
Des & April
Nooner

Our Team Member Got Engaged!

Jennifer Noone, e.g. Nooner, was asked to be Clayton Chaney's wife while they were off galavanting and vacationing in Cabo (I guess we'll forgive her for missing the first 2 games, hu! :)

Clayton popped the infamous question on a private beach next to Lover's Beach (in Cabo, Mexico) after a nice romantic walk. Nooner tells us she was so surprised and overcome with joy - it was one of the best days of her life!

Congratulations CLOONERS!

Our First Scheduled Competition is This Coming Week

Our first scheduled competition is this week, starting on Wednesday night against Sheehan and ending on Friday with Love Hurts...heading into the season with a double-header -- wish us luck!

More pictures, shenanigans and fun to come...stay tuned!
