The second GBDBA Junior Tournament was held in Alliston on Saturday, Dec. 10.
This was a Doubles tournament followed by exhibition Singles games.
Cameron Bird and Om Patel finished 2nd in BU13. They won a very close 2 game match over Bracebridge but came up short against their nemesis from Machi.
Claire Lim and Cattibre LePage finished as B Champions in GU15. This was Cattibre’s first tournament and Claire’s second for their rookie season on the circuit and must consider the outcome very successful.
Morgan Gillan won BU15 with teammate Elite Lu of Machi. The boys were quite equal in their abilities and style of play always keeping their opponents under pressure forcing the weak returns that led to their victories.
Shrey Patel partnered with Jimmy Yao of Bracebridge and they were successful in winning the BU17 despite some very challenging matches from Machi teams. Shrey’s size and power combined with Jimmy’s seeing-eye drop shots made a potent offence.
