What a weekend in Region 2! Saturday was the turn of the Connecticut Classic in West Hatford. The Eastern Singles in Greenwich was held over the weekend and was, yet again, another success. To top off the weekend, the Patterson Club Junior Open kicked off the Viking Junior Paddle Tour this past Sunday.
Scott Slobin put another great show in lower Fairfield County and hosted the first junior tournament of the season.

The New Canaan team did not disappointed and went home with the title.
