The Mattapoisett Community Tennis Association held its annual tennis doubles tournament this past Friday, July 30 at Old Rochester Regional High School.
At the tournament, an award was presented to retiring president Wayne Miller for more than 15 years of meritorious service to MCTA by recently elected president, Ellen Foss. An exciting six set mixed round robin doubles tournament followed. Participants came from not only Mattapoisett but many surrounding towns such as Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Marion, New Bedford and Wareham. The results of the Tournament are as follows:
First Place: Mike Hickey, 16 wins
Second Place: Dave Mello, 15 wins
Third/Fourth Place: Chris Barnes and Kim Celi, 14 wins
Fifth Place: Emily Marvin, 13 wins
MCTA is a great organization and a wonderful addition to my many years of vacation in Mattapoisett. Wayne Miller is so very deserving of awards and appreciation. He has done an excellent job keeping the sport of tennis alive in the community. I look forward, every Spring (and now fall), playing with this group and they have been so receptive of this Georgia Guy!! Congratulations to the winners and to Wayne! Keep your eye on the ball!
