Volleyball tournament raises $10,000 for charities
LEAMINGTON – The 9th Annual Charity Volleyball Tournament was phenomenal, according to organizers, with a recordbreaking 45 teams representing four divisions hitting the hard courts on Saturday, Feb. 22. Maryvale Adolescent & Family Services was the recipient for the monies raised and volunteers from the organization were onsite assisting throughout the day. Games were played at four venues: Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex, Leamington District Secondary School, Cardinal Carter Secondary/Middle Schools and UMEI Christian High School. This was the ninth tournament organized by Karen Repko, Leasa Barkovsky, Ryan Whittle and Kristine Verbeek. The Competitive Division final was an incredible battle to the end with Team Josh narrowly beating their rivals to take the top spot. The action during the Intermediate Division finals also did not disappoint with Sweet Digs Too coming up with the win after having to beat their competitor twice in the finals. The Recreation Division saw an increase in talent this year and Team SWAT was able to fend off the others in the division to be the winners.

The Corporate Division again had teams representing several companies/organizations in the area coming together for this great cause. There were sore muscles but plenty of laughs, and after the dust settled, Mighty Maryvale came out on top as the victors. Along with the money and
items donated for Maryvale Adolescent & Family Services, items were also collected for the Leamington Salvation Army Food Bank, a regular beneficiary of each tournament. After the knee pads came off and pain relief cream applied, an amazing $10,000 was donated along with an
