Cape Breton Post, January 14, 2010 re Play of January 12,
2010
Tennis player for all seasons
A Little bit of snow or freezing temperatures won't stop a
handful of hard-core tennis players from hitting the courts this time of year.
Some members of the Cromarty Tennis Club can be seen on the Sydney courts most
every day, as long as the playing surface is dry. Eric Krause returns a volley
to tennis partner Kevin MacNeil as temperatures dropped below zero, Tuesday.
Krause says that as far as he knows, they are the only club in Nova Scotia that
plays through the season.
