Dear Pickleball Canada,
Check out our Facebook page for more details.
Hello, thanks for taking the time to publish the
article about the Canada/US games held last year Thanks again,
in Wellesley Island, USA. I just wanted to send
along a few photos of our reciprocal event held
here in the beautiful township of Leeds and the Nancy Singleton
Thousand Islands. Our event was called the ‘Can- TLTI Lansdowne Pickleball Club
Am Dink & Dine’ and occurred in September 2018.
We had approximately 60 participants who got
to play on our six beautiful outdoor courts. The
event consisted of mixed open play, followed up
by our first ever ‘Battle of the Paddle’ where 3
teams from each side of the border (Canada &
USA) played friendly matches to win the bragging
rights and coveted Canada Cup. The US team (FBI
-Formidable, Bold and Intimidating) prevailed over
the Canadian team (RCMP -Ruthless Canadian
Master Picklers) and the stage has now been set
for a rematch this year, 2019, to bring the cup
back to Canada! After the event, we headed over
to our local eatery ‘Rapid Valley’ and presented the
awards, medals and Canada Cup while enjoying an
excellent meal.
