TEAM BC at our Nationals Team Dinner in Regina

BC Juniors enjoyed their most successful night in recent memory - 4 first place finishes in a magical night.  Sebastien Boissonneault and Tanner Mattson storm back, down 12-4 in the second game, after taking it on the chin in the first - to take game two and then the tie-breaker, 11-7 against Jamie Slamko and Kevin Caouette of Alberta in 18-under doubles.  Earlier in the evening, Sivan Dinur and Chloe Chong, in their first nationals as a doubles team, won first in 14-under girls; the team of Anthony Schonberger and Siddhant Agrawal maintained their first seed right through the final to win 14-under boys, as did Connor Culhane and Nicholas Leung in the 12-under boys doubles.  — 40 points in doubles for BC!!!!

Get a look at these guys!  Nathaniel and Nicholas Leung.  Nathaniel coveting his 2007 Canadian Junior Nationals hardware.

Thanks to Neil, Tom, Collin and everyone involved in hosting the Victoria Open.  It was a great event and my two boys are charged up to join me at next year’s event again.  A fitting tribute to Tony Eng and on behalf of the juniors and their families, thank you for the support you showed and gave to each of us.
