An already low tone club meeting (4
players) gets downgraded when host Miguel
Marques leaves early. His brother, Rick and
Massimo Conturso end up playing the 81st
Challenge, their 8th matchup (6-2 Massimo),
that the Italian manages to win at the
shootouts in his 3rd consecutive shutout
performance.
Rick & Massimo has quickly become the
hottest duo in the club as they traveled
together to the recent Maryland Open
weekend and faced each other 4 times in
the last 5 Challenge Cup finals.
All this stands for their skills, but also for
their consistency and dedication to the club
activity in a period of the year traditionally
slow.
