The First High Game Event raises more than $1000 for the 2020 Fund

Twenty one squash enthusiasts, ranging in age from 11 to 60+ participated in The First High Game Event at The Arbutus Club on June 16th. A Silent Auction and a significant portion of the entry fee raised $1100 for the 2020 Fund, supporting junior squash.

Pool games (one game to 11 points, rally point scoring) were used to determine divisional placements. Thus, each participant played a minimum six games. In Division One, youth and fitness prevailed over guile and seniority as Tim Saunders (Bentall) defeated Dave Adams (Bentall). In Division Two, a similar pattern emerged with a youthful Emilie Mackie (VRC – recently graduated from Dartmouth University, where she played on the squash team) defeated Pat Paproski (Bentall). In Division Three, David O’Brien (Evergreen) defeated Gordon Bitney (VLTBC). Consolation winners were Gavin Roy (Bentall), Andrew Dempsey (Jericho) and Lucas Ravkov (Arbutus).

After play everyone retired to the Lounge for dinner and drinks.

Thanks to the Silent Auction contributors – Gordon Bitney, Morley Jameson and especially to Allan Brown who contributed the majority of the items.

Thanks also to our prize sponsors – Dunlop/Larry Armstrong and Lululemon. We also acknowledge the support of The Arbutus Club for hosting the event so well.

Our goal is to double the number of entries for next year. Watch for the announcement!

Morley Jameson and Allan Brown.
