Tennis Season Wraps Up

Another great season of tennis in Vegreville closes with hosting of the Vegreville Open. The final tournament of the year is played over several days in October. With less daylight and cooler temperatures, the final match of the tournament was held on an indoor court in Edmonton on October 29th.

Congratulations to Alex Ramos of Viking on winning his second championship. Clint Villardo of Sherwood Park, had dominated the courts all season, but unfortunately came up just short of taking home the big prize.

It was a wonderful season, and it was nice to see some new players on the courts this year. The players really appreciate the Town of Vegreville for maintaining the tennis courts. We are hoping Santa might bring some outdoor lighting to the courts next season.
