The Capital Cup will see a change of scenery this spring and it's all thanks to the play of 12 Yukoners.

This past weekend, the Whitehorse group helped win the tennis trophy back from Juneau, bringing it back to the Yukon on Monday after a more than a two decade absence.

The only problem now for Tennis Yukon will be finding a location to show off their prize until the next Capital Cup tennis tournament is played this summer in Whitehorse.

"I might just walk around with it, actually, for the next week," joked Tennis Yukon president Stacy Lewis. "We don't have club house and Sport Yukon doesn't have a trophy case, so we need somewhere where people can see it, but haven't quite figured it out yet."

This tournament dates back to 1983, when it was first started by Dean Williams and Mike Pounder. Williams, who is now 91 years old, was a guest speaker over the weekend and talked about how the event first began.

The Capital Cup is set up as a competition between tennis players from both the Yukon and Alaska capitals.

The tournament's format counts a point for each game won whenever a player from Whitehorse is up against an opponent from Juneau. The idea is that even if a player loses a match, he or she could still contribute to the team's total.

Tennis Yukon revived the tournament this past summer when the outdoor edition was played in Whitehorse. Juneau ended up winning the cup that time.

On Monday, Whitehorse led Juneau by 14 points before coming back to the Yukon.

Lewis said the Yukon competitors in the junior division played a major role in bringing the cup back to Whitehorse.

The junior results included Louis Kedroiza, who went a perfect 2-0 in the junior advance beginners singles.

Yukoner Aline Halliday had a stellar showing in the juniors 3/4 court division, going a perfect 5-0, while 1/2 court player Ewan Halliday went 2-1.

The Yukon's adult players also did very well, which included Tennis Yukon head coach Jan Polivka winning each of his three divisions.

Polivka finished first in the men's upper division singles, men's upper division doubles (with Ken Liao) and mixed doubles mid division (with Miriam Lukszova).

Kieran Halliday and Jeanette Carney also got some valuable game experience after an off-season of preparing for the 2009 Canada Summer Games. The two will team up at the Canada Games in the mixed category and played together for the first time this past weekend.

"I think it was pretty important because everybody plays differently and we all need experience," Kieran said. "It's really fun down there and there's lots of nice people and they have good tennis courts."

Tennis Yukon will have the Capital Cup on hand at the organization's AGM Wednesday at Sport Yukon. Members of the public are invited to attend the meeting, which begins at 7 p.m.
