TENNIS IS THE GAME, FRIENDSHIP IS THE NAME
By: Ronny Goldman

Before 85 years,
With a lot of sweat and tears,
By people with vision and creativity,
The new-born IC started its activity.

Tennis is the game,
Friendship is the name,
Wonderful sportsmanship & harmony,
Are the sounds of this symphony.

"You can feel it night and day",
As one IC member used to say,
It is crossing nations and continents,
Everywhere it has the same components.

Always looking forward to attend,
Playing great tennis, dreading the end…
Such exciting moments at all IC events,
Potter Cup, Columbus, Windmill & other tournaments…

Even if you've lost a game in hands,
Only here you always win the real thing: friends,
"To love the game beyond the prize",
From the IC poem we quote,
We, friends, are always together-
In our happy IC boat!!
