yes, I did. Great time at the Oval and touring Vancouver during the great weather, although the 98-B Richmond Centre bus was really crowded. I'll be back next year and probably staying longer.
Last set of pics 3rd place match. At one stage Andrew Debeka kept diving to retrieve Andre's shots, which resulted in the line judge in the pic rushing frequently onto the court to mop up.
it was funny when people cheered for "Sarah(sp?)" for drying the floor. she must have been embarrassed....
Yeah, that was Sarah Kong, one of the upcoming U-19 juniors who volunteered for the tournament. Not too sure why, but one thing just led to another
Maybe they wanted to see Sarah working on menial labor by using her awesome skills clearning the court floor ! lol! That was my impression. Andrew's flip out and lying on the ground was halarious! He definately enjoyed his game.
