Many thanks to the CT Cordano's for hosting this year - They did a great job as always AND NOW IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE FINALS

First we had to finish up the Round 2 matches - this was going to be toughy

You better watch out for Trevor and Claire - Uncle Natty and Uncle Donny have their hands full - and who is that newbie?

Talk about a battle Royale - You better be nice to Johnny Z and Papa - show some RESPECT

Trey's not sure what to make of this freak show

Steve showing that his golfing background has no merit whatsoever on the Pond Course

Greg and Tori seemed to have a good time

Rose and Shablahblah enjoy the day full of croquet

Rob broke out the puffy shirt and apparently beat up some old man for his chappeau

Natty hanging with the locals

Papa and Nana Joanne settle in before the finals kick off

Aunt Millie shows the style that brought her to 2nd round

Johnny Z starting to feel the pressure - apparently, someone isn't being respectful

Kerry holding her own coming around wicket #3

Jane terrorizing her round but came up short in the end

Giving it his all, John Z gives it a run to the finals

LADIES AND GENTEELMEN - Get your seats - the finals are about to begin

NORMALLY RIGHT HERE - YOU WOULD SEE A PICTURE THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE SIX FINALISTS BUT DUE TO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES, NO PICTURE WAS TAKEN PRIOR TO THE FIRST STRIKE OF THE MALLET FOR THE FINALS. SO YOUR 2009 8 STILLMAN FINALISTS WERE:

Robert Cordano - Donna Dawson - Amanda Cordano

Don Dawson - Michael McCartney - Jeanette K

Rob came out in good form looking to two-peat

BUT WHAT IS THIS? VINI -VICI - VIDI? We got your Vinnie, Vicci and Vendi - Introducing ET-TU ROQUET

AND JULIUS WEEZER

Better known as Uncle Donny and Uncle Mike

Aunt Millie likes the toga look and suggests we all wear them next year

Uncle Rob playing the boundary lines

Uncle Mike looking royally Roman in front of his castle

Amanda working hard to get to get to poison - which she did - first!

Aunt Donna beginning to slip back from the crowd

The Romans heckling the players

Uncle Donny doing something that not many people saw during the "poison" portion of the finals - taking a shot at another player

And in the end, Mr. Robert Cordano did the unthinkable - he became the first back-to-back HOST to win the tourney. His 8th win in 17 years.

He was also the first to award himself the trophy, as he won last year. No Host has ever accomplished this.

He's threatened retiring but as we all know, there's no way he's going down easy. He wants number "9" so we can claim a 50% winning record. We'll shall see...
