Hubbard and Fisher and capture the inaugural “Plateau Cup”! 

 Highlights from the “2006 Plateau Life Open Tennis Championships”.

 Who’s got game on “The Plateau”? Over the weekend of July 29^th & 30^th, players battled it out to capture the coveted first “Plateau Cup” and assume bragging rights in their division.

 In Mens Singles, local talent Bill Hubbard won his finals match with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Bill Dow.  Hubbard’s all around elevated game proved too much for the young Skyline tennis player with the solid ground strokes.   

In Womens Singles, Jamie Fischer won a hard fought, rain delayed match, 6-1, 6-3 over Rene’ Ahern.  Exceptional long rallies were constant in this match which stretched close to 3 hours.

 In Mixed Doubles, the father and daughter team of Bill and Brooke Hubbard captured the title with a 7-5, 6-3 win over Tiffany and Cameron Buck.  In arguably the closest finals match of the tourney, fierce net rallies were the norm and the outcome rarely felt certain.

 The weekend tourney, organized by Plateaulife.com and hosted in Klahanie, is the first public tennis tournament of its kind on “The Plateau”. Tournament director and Plateaulife.com founder David Vaughan said “The community response was great. We had an excellent group of players turn out for this first time event. Everyone had fun and the competition level heated up pretty good through the final rounds.  We’ll do it again, and bigger, in 2007!”
