The Cross Border Challenge on Saturday, October 24/09 was full of many surprises. WSF was looking to extend their long winning streak over the DAC. Unfortunately for them the DAC boys came to Windsor looking to take home the Cross Border Challenge trophy with them.
Early on in the challenge the DAC was quick to build up a lead. After some tough matches Windsor started to find their winning form and pulled even after 12 matches. This meant that the final match would determine the champion of the Cross Border Challenge.
The final match was on the doubles court between Stan Furmanek/ Tom Beneteau (WSF) versus Peter Logan/ Mike Cousnmen (DAC). Neither side wanted to let their team down. Furmanek/Beneteau set the early pace by stealing the 1st game, but Logan/ Cousnmen came back to win the next two. In the 4th game Beneteau/ Furmanek were hanging on and facing a possible defeat when they rallied and stole the 4th game. In the 5th Furmanek/ Beneteau put on a great display of shot making ability that kept finding the nick. Logan/ Cousnmen tried to answer but they had run out of gas. This great victory for WSF kept the trophy at home and the DAC wondering if they would ever retain the trophy again.
