Invitational Tournament Results
The June 1st Espanola Invitational Pickleball tournament was well represented with 38 players from four clubs competing. Those were Espanola, Manitoulin, Blind River and Thessalon.
The two teams that advanced to the tournament finals were the Manitoulin club vs the Blind River club. After a very close battle on the court, Blind River came away with the win.
