Team Western B1 - Division B/C Champions!
Just under 80 participants from across the province competed in two divisions at this year's Portage M&A Advisory Ontario Regional Masters Team Championships presented by Black Knight. No stranger to hosting some of Ontario's top events, the Club at White Oaks and tournament chair Matt Easingwood ensured all players had an amazing time, on and off the court.
With thanks to the tournament's generous sponsors, Portage M&A advisory and Black Knight, players were treated to some amazing food, prizes and a Saturday night social complete with live entertainment. Our team captains put in lots of work leading up to the event recruiting players and filling their region's rosters. Without these volunteers, the tournament would not have been so successful, so thank you Captains!
In the A division, Team Toronto, led by Aaron Rodrigues came out on top winning all 4 of their matchups with tight scores of 4-3. Team Niagara finished in second place, followed by third place Team Western. All teams faced off against each other over the weekend in teams of 7, with 4 men and 3 women, all over 30 years of age.
The B/C division had an impressive 8 teams from 5 different regions face off in a pool play and playoff format, with each team comprised of 7 players. Team Western B1, led by regional captains Leah Desbarres and Sam Epstein, took home the gold medals after defeating Team Toronto B 4-3 in the finals. In the ¾ play off, Team Niagara B2 defeated Team Western B2, claiming the bronze medal.
Congratulations to all podium finishers!
