Barney J. Reed, tournament 1st seed, arrived at the finals by losing only one game to Peter Moo of Jamaica in the Championship round robin. He then defeated DiDi DeSouza, the 2nd seed, in the semi-finals. With two people advancing, Peter Moo, the tournament 3rd seed, faced and defeated Michael Henry in the other semi final, thus setting the stage for a finals showdown between 1st and 3rd, Barney and Peter. The exciting showdown was punctuated with extreme attacks and unbelievable counter attacks from both sides. Barney’s best of seven win (6,9,8,6) was closer than the score indicates. For their efforts, they each took home $500 and $300 respectively. Meanwhile, DiDi DeSouza, the perennial Foothills winner, lost only one game in his group to Michael Henry, thus advancing him to the semi-finals where he lost to the over powering offense of Barney Reed. Didi won $200 as third-place money in the singles. However, he and his partner Archie Jordan both pocketed another $107 for their 3800-doubles win over Barney and Mr. Joseph Newgarden. In the doubles, after being down 0-2 to DiDi and Archie, Barney and Mr. Newgarden came back to tie the match at 2-2. In the fifth and final game, it appeared that Barney and Mr. Newgarden might win the exciting match when they led 10-9. However, DiDi and Archie came back to win at 12-10. This was probably the most watched and certainly the most cheered match of the day, especially after a few of the winners hit by Mr. Newgarden. There was exciting play in all divisions. In the A Division Anugu Manus, Michael Lalvani, and Slawomir Waclawik won $300, $200, and $100 for their respective 1st, 2n, and 3rd place wins. All other division winners received beautiful plaques.
