    The event kicked off with coffee and donuts. Players from Milo, Williamsburg, Dover-Foxcroft and North Carolina joined in a well contested event on June 29. Eighty-three  games were played over four hours. Each team played every other team.
    The team of Roxanne Chase and Minh finished first with 24 wins, Lynn and Jim Lubas finished second with 22 wins and Mary Lou and Bob Lee rounded out the medals stand with 20 wins. The contests were extremely close with a separation between first and third of only four games. Many players and fans commented on the excellent playability and esthetics of the Burns-Johnson Complex. Organizers thank everyone for their contributions to the rebuilding and enhancing the facility.
    The next tennis tournament will be men’s doubles in July. Please contact Mary Lou Lee at 943-3267 for more information.
