Five courts were set up in the Matthew Halton School gym, and the pace was brisk as the tournament progressed through a total of 114 matches (results below).  Coaches and organizers again deserve a special note of thanks for pulling off another very successful tournament, particularly since there were some last minute changes necessitated by the elimination of St. Michael's School gym due a scheduling conflict.

This coming weekend the students are off to the Zones tournament in Medicine Hat.  Good luck!
