By Daniel Leger – The June 1st Espanola Invitational Pickleball tournament was well represented with 38 players from four clubs competing. Those were Espanola, Manitoulin, Blind River and Thessalon.
The two teams that advanced to the tournament finals were the Manitoulin club vs the Blind River club. After a very close battle on the court, Blind River came away with the win.
Pictured above are Mike Douglas and Ginette Simon from the Manitoulin club and Warren Wiebe and Paul Rouselle the winners from the Blind River club.
Thanks to all who competed in this tournament and helped to raise $765 for local charities.
Special thanks to Espanola Council who waived the complex rental fees, the complex staff for getting everything set up for the event, to our volunteer score keepers, to the Espanola Pickleball club for picking up the event costs and to Pizza Hut for the discounted meal.
Also a big thank you to Garry Wolfe from the Manitoulin club for helping out with the event registration set up and tournament format.
