On Saturday September 17, 4 teams battled it out for just the 4th Golden Ball Doubles Championship in a one day take all Doubles Tournament under the lights of Lower Woodland.

Doubles specialist and racket technician (playing with duct tape, wires, and hemp string on this 3 pound racket) Andrew Marshall teamed with Raja to win a round robin, BARELY overcoming a strong performance from Lynwood Montgomery and Will Millar. The duo of Andrew/Raja won the final championship set 7-5 over the singles players turned doubles tandem. Tom S and Tom T struggled, finding their footing in their 3rd place match but still losing, as Solid doubles play from the Nickolay/Arun team helped with a 3-1 record and barely missing out on the championship match, after they suffered a heart-crushing tiebreaker loss to Lynwood/Will in the “advance to the final” tiebreaker. Fun was had by all. Next year I am working on a four week Thursday night Doubles draw to strengthen our doubles Competitions.
