 | The 2004 edition of the Rexall TennisAccess.Com Doubles Tour got underway with a full head of steam at the prestigious Ontario Racquet Club in Mississauga! |
Players got "orientated" and there was much rejoicing! |  |
 | Lots of action and Kids in the Hall |
Our favourite Pat Gillett did an outstanding job in organizing everyone, while Brent looked on |  |
 | Jenn Cook did a fantastic job of keeping the matches going, and looking after the players Thanks Jenn, good show!! |
The silent auction drew huge crowds of players and spectators alike |  |
 | Duncan Adams from New Balance brought out some wonderful new clothing and shoes. His presence was appreciated by all Thanks, Duncan! |
Over 110 matches proceeded from Saturday morning right through until Sunday night! |  |
 | The ever popular speed serving was a big hit, as well! Here Vicky registers an "Exit" on her serve....oops, wrong display?! Speed server Jay Grant won yet again with a whopping 124 mph serve, and Sharon Martineau won for the women with a big 80 mph! |
A lengthy quiz procedure also greeted all the players both days, just to see if they were "trivia worthy" |  |
 | Saturday night saw the re-birth of the Steam Whistle party. The CORCScrew served up some wonderful food, as well. Thanks to Dave Dunham! |
| Reminiscing about the day's matches! |  |
 | More revelers party on into the night, well beyond 8:00
('cause they had to play the next day!) |
Thanks to Steam Whistle for supplying the good stuff in the green, non-twist top bottles! |  |
 | Now, the first official results of 2004! Mary Daniel and Sue Hatton (right) upset Colleen Petrick and Margaret Ranger, and they beat them in the women's "B" final, too, 8-5! |
Sandra Barrett (left) and Heidi Bottschen (right) eked out a victory over Sheila Cunningham and Kelly Stobbe (middle), 8-7 |  |
 | A very patient Jay and Gord Grant (left) were rewarded by taking the Men's "B" final over Phil Prata and Peter Eastmure, 8-5 |
In a tough Men's field, Jason Christie and Scott Barrett (left) wore down Ravi Kang and Ed Wilcox, 8-3, to take the "A" title |  |
 | Kim Hutt-Taylor and Lee Hatton (right) crawled away with an 8-7 victory over Phil Prata and Janet Bulger in the Mixed "B" final |
In the last match of a grueling weekend, Jason Christie and Heidi Bottschen (left) returned to the winner's circle and downed Scott and Sandra Barrett, 8-7 to take home the "A" Mixed title |  |
And so ends the first chapter of 2004. Thanks to all the ORC staff that made it possible! Hope to see you for our first outdoor event of the year at Chicopee Tennis Club in Kitchener on May 15-16, for MD, WD, and MXD - destined to be an instant classic! Visit: Chicopee for details! Cheers, and take care! Scott and Sandra |
