Reimers twins team up for Del Val doubles title

The brotherly team of John and Adrian Reimers cruised through the competition Wednesday, with the Chichester doubles team eventually beating Duwaine Jenkins and Dayquan Harrison of Academy Park in the final to win the Del Val League doubles championship at Chester Park.

The Reimers duo took down eventual third-place finishers Tamir Laws and Jay-B Jallah of Penn Wood (6-1, 6-1) in the quarterfinals and Kevin Portalatin and Dylan Flegal of Glen Mills (6-0, 6-0) in the semifinals before beating the Knights pair of Jenkins-Harrison 7-6 (11-9) and 6-2 in the title match.

Both those doubles teams in the final, however, do advance to the District One doubles next Friday at Springfield Healthplex.

The Reimers had to overcome what had been a 4-1 first-set lead by Jenkins and Harrison before winning a tiebreaker. With the win, Adrian Reimers secured gold in both singles (his brother was second) and doubles.

In a nonleague match:

Cardinal O’Hara 5, Ridley 2: Dominic Degnan, Ryan Shields and Andrew Shuda led the way with singles wins as the Lions defeated the Green Raiders. O’Hara also had winning performances from second doubles squad Jake Gindhart and Jason Haley, and fourth doubles team Michael Chartier and Nick Perry.

For Ridley, top doubles pair John Gabriele and Tommy Hall and third doubles pair Steve Schiedly and Jim Dennehey won their matches.

In the Central League:

Radnor 4, Harriton 3: This one came down to the sweet end, a No. 4 doubles match in which Radnor’s Noah Offenkrantz and Drew Harrington squeaked by Jake Smolenski and Sander Shuster of Harriton, 6-3, 6-4. Other winners for the Raiders were top singles man Will Frigerio (4-6, 6-4, 6-4 over Jeff Soloman), and third singles Brad Burton (3-6, 6-4, 6-2 over Isaac Goldenberg).

Radnor third doubles team Eren Ozer and Jonathan Davis also won, enabling the fourth doubles match to be the decider.

In the Ches-Mont:

Downingtown East 6, Sun Valley 0: Third singles Paul Carney proved a tough out before D-East’s Chanpreet Singh defeated him at 6-2, 6-3.
