Nationals in Barrie,
Ontario won medals this past
weekend.

The women’s doubles team of
Alice Lee and Lindy Liu had a fan-
tastic tournament and _ were
rewarded with a bronze medal.

“T am so happy to win a medal,”
said an ecstatic Lee.

The duo, who were paired
together only two weeks prior to
the provincial championships, lost
their first match of the tournament
but kept fighting every step of the
way to gain the third-place finish.

“The girls have come a long way
and I am very, very proud of
them,” commented coach Al
Mawani.

Alice and Lindy, who have
become the best of friends since
becoming a doubles team, support-
ed each other throughout the
provincials and nationals.

“T have so much fun playing
with Alice and I hope we can play
together again next year,” said Liu.

The mixed doubles team of
Bryan Yee and Tiffany Cheong
won silver in the competition.

Bryan and Tiffany played very
well throughout the tournament,
but fell just short against a very
strong team from Alberta. The
mixed team got stronger and
stronger as the tournament went
on and convincingly defeated the
Ontario-1 team in the semi-finals.

“It was a good ending to
Tiffany’s playing career with the
Douglas team. I’m very pleased for
her and for the hard work the two

put in,” commented Mawani.

Cheong has qualified for three
nationals and won two silvers along
the way.

“Tm pleased with my perform-
