The Neepawa tennis club is now ranked with the premier court circles in the province as a result of winning the western Manitoba ‘B’ division in Brandon on Wednesday, taking the honours from Boissevain to capture the Reesor cup. The cup is a large one, which will be retained by the club for a year, while a miniature of the trophy will be presented as the perpetual property of the club.
