The Stratford Tennis League crowned its 'A' champions this week. PHYSIOTHERAPY ASSOCIATES continued their surprising playoff run, upsetting DONKERS AGRI to take the title! PHYSIOTHERAPY' S #1 ladies doubles team of Linda Doig and Deb Murphy got the team off to a wonderful start, by winning their sets 6 - 0 , 6 - 4 over DONKERS' Maria Donkers and Sandie Ennett. The #2 ladies doubles saw a split of sets as PHYSIO'S Nancy Chung and Lise Couture took the first set 6 - 4 while DONKERS' Gail Shelton and Noella Schiedel scored a 6 - 4 win in the second set. The #1 men's doubles also split sets with DONKERS' John Noble and Shannon Dyke taking the first set 7 - 5 and PHYSIO's Chris Parson and Nathan Walsh winning the second set 6 - 4. PHYSIO'S Morgan Davis and Mike Furlong won both the #2 men's doubles sets scoring a 6 - 3 , 6 - 1 won over Jack Watson and Paul Barclay.
PHYSIOTHERAPY ASSOCIATES took a commanding 6 sets to 2 lead, into the four mixed doubles sets. The #1 mixed match up went to PHYSIO'S Doig and Parson 6 - 1 over Donkers and Noble. DONKERS' #2 mixed team of Ennett and Dyke scored a 6 - 1 victory over Murphy and Walsh. The #3 mixed set also went to DONKERS when Shelton and Watson downed Chung and Davis 6 - 3. The #4 mixed set went to a tie-breaker with PHYSIO'S Couture and Furlong edging Schiedel and Barclay 7 - 6 (7 points to 3 in the tie-breaker) . This gave PHYSIOTHERAPY ASSOCIATES an 8 sets to 4 sets win and the 2011 'A' championship.
Unfortunately, the 'B' CHAMPIONSHIP was rained out. The FLASHING PEARLIES and OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY were unable to get their matches completed. No decision on a rain date has been made at this time, as Club Championship play is the priority for the next two weeks.
