World of Wine & Spirits captured the 1999-2000 Newtown Health & Racquetball Clubâs womenâs basketball championship Tuesday night to complete what was a near-perfect season.

Beth Gattey paced the Gleason Group with 13 points, Mary Dent hit for 12 and Jackie Petersen added 10.
World Wine & Spirits found itself in a strange situation as it had to play two games in one night. In game one, it knocked off a scrappy Newtown Color Center squad, 65-42. Once again, Ruth Rowe led the way with 24 points.
For Newtown Color Center, Andrea Morris ripped the nets for 24 points in a losing effort.
After the title game, the entire league was invited to a party at the Italian Pavilion. Among the honored guests was referee Bob Rogers.
