Squash clubs around the Greater Toronto Area were taken over this weekend with the annual Men’s & Women’s Veterans Doubles Championships - Squash Ontario’s final provincial doubles championship of the year. The women who played in the Hennessy & Hinchcliffe Ontario Women's Veterans Doubles Championships Presented by Slaight Music were treated at the Toronto Cricket Club with a great venue and tournament experience with thanks to Tournament Chair Lolly Gillen and Tournament Referee Leslie Freeman. Highlights from this weekend include several 30+ ‘singles’ players transitioning over to doubles competition saying “this is so fun” in between losing games, the several close round robin matches creating extra Saturday night work for Lolly and Leslie to locate the new tie-break rules, and Nicole Pirko winning a brand new H&H toilet plunger courtesy of title sponsor Mark Hinchcliffe!
