The American Platform Tennis Association’s Women’s 70+ Championship finally took place on February 16th at Fox Meadow Tennis Club. It was rescheduled twice because of heavy snowstorms on the scheduled tournament dates. Several ladies were not able to participate, including the defending champions, Helen Garratt and Mary Jane Parks. They were very disappointed and believed to be hoping for yet another rescheduling. February 16th was a beautiful day. All players enjoyed their first spring-like day. Everyone sat in the stands to watch the finals. The winners were Birgit Maio and Ginny Sniatkowsky and the finalists were Pat Fallon and Sharon Hummers (6-4, 6-2). Ann Brown was Tournament Chair and Ann Manning chaired the final match.
