The Cricket Club hosted the Ontario Women’s Veteran Doubles Championship last weekend after a nasty Covid two-year hiatus. This event would not have been possible with out the support of our title sponsor Hennessy & Hinchcliffe (Mark Hinchcliff), who also ensured that the ladies were treated to an awesome complimentary Friday social. A big shout out to our tournament chair Lolly Gillen for all her hard work, she made sure this event would be a super hit.
Many thanks to the Organizing Committee of Rebecca Cutler & Wendy Milic of the Cricket Thursday Evening House League, and our awesome squash professionals; world class doubles players Robin Clark & Nikki Todd. Huge thanks to Tournament Referee Cathy Tuckwell who ensured all matches were played fairly and on schedule. Many thanks to HEAD (Tammie Sangster) and Dunlop (Seanna Keating) for their donations to the prize table and all the participants for making it happen and for making it such a fun success.
