On August 13 -14 2005, the I Street Bathhouse held its annual Red Swain Memorial Tourney. The first day of action
was intense as the temp reached 90 degrees with 100% humidity. After 8 hours of play we were left with the final four
teams, three of them from South Boston. Semi #1 saw Hall of Famer Cliff Swain and his partner Bernie Goodman
take on Jerry Osullivan and Matt S. The game was tight until the halfway mark when Swain delivered some blistering
serves along with Goodman hitting perfect pinches to take the game 21-11.

Semi #2 saw IRT #9 in the world Josh Tucker and his partner Jim Grant take on Mike Daly and Tommy Connolly. A
close game throughout the match with Tucker serving some of the fastest serves of the day. Daly and Connolly hung
tough and with Connolly hitting killshots from 65 feet back and Daly pinching everything in the corners, the game
swayed from Tucker and Grant, as they had a 20-18 lead, only to lose the game in the end 21-20.

The finals were set as Swain and Goodman took on Daly and Connolly in a single game to 31, winner take all! Swain
and Goodman started out slow as Daly and Connolly took a big lead early. Halfway through the game Goodman warmed
up and started hitting some nice pinch shots. Swain also stepped it up as he served up some aces and great deep
ball passes. Not ones to give up, Daly and Connolly started hitting great passes deep in the court. The game was close
again as it was now 26-26. Swain and Goodman got on a roll though, and closed the match out for a 31-28 win.
