The final summer tournament for the Lake Country Padel Club ended in an epic.
The Vancouver duo of Faris Al-Mudaffer and Faris Fani outlasted the Lake Country-91大黄鸭 duo of Mike Botterill and Caleb Jones in a nearly three-hour battle to claim victory.
The tournament was the send-off to the padel season in B.C. Lake Country has the only three courts in the whole province and regularly brings out players from across Western Canada.
A previous tournament in early August brought teams as far as Mexico.
Al-Mudaffer, who came from Vancouver to compete, was ecstatic at the hospitality of Lake Country members.
"It was great company, and an experience I will not forget," said Al-Mudaffer. "Long may padel grow in B.C."
