Pakmen Duo Strikes Again

Ricky Brar and Dzmitry Darashkou
Ricky Brar and Dzmitry Darashkou, of the Mississauga Pakmen volleyball club, won Ontario Summer Games gold in Sudbury.
The beach volleyball duo defeated Brad Crain and Blake Scheerhoorn, of Northumberland, 2-1 (17-21, 21-18, 15-10) in the final.
Brar and Darashkou went 6-1 the rest of the weekend, losing their only match to Crain and Scheerhoorn in the final match of the preliminary round.
The first-place showing came just two weeks after the Pakmen pair won the under-15 title at the Ontario Volleyball Association championships in Toronto.
“This championship capped off a perfect season for the boys,” said coach Jessy Satti. “They put in the hours, worked hard and collected their paycheque – the gold medal.”
Brar and Darashkou couldn’t be happier.
“It’s the best feeling in the world,” Brar said.
“I am so glad I joined the Pakmen,” added Darashkou. “This is an amazing club. I love it.”
