5th Place Match: another awesome final with Parkway's Abi Krol & Nadir Hendricks squeaking in out in the 5th over Lakeshore's Kelly Kuru & Eric Watson (Calgary) 13 (14) (12) 14, 14
After the Open finals saturday evening, the fans at the Parkway were not sure the action could get much better, but the sunday finals did not disappoint! There was SERIOUSLY no lack of talent this weekend as rubber burned the walls of Mayfair Parkway on Super Sunday at the 2019 Hennessy & Hinchcliffe Canadian Mixed Doubles Squash Championships at Mayfair Parkway. More than any club in Canada, Parkway members seriously know how to genuinely embrace, heckle and/or applaud the talent. Clearly this weekend, most teams were evenly matched stretching dramatic decisions to five setters
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2018 CHAMPIONS!
