One of the highlights of our season is always the anniversary tournament. 108 years after the club was founded in Victoria Park it still enjoys one of the best (if not the best) lawn bowling locations in Ontario with its views out across the lake and the park. And on Saturday August 8th the club was at its best with the greens faster than they have ever been. The tournament was once again sponsored by HTM Insurance and a celebratory cake was donated by Fishers Foodland.
Twelve triples teams played three ten end games and the tournament can be described as a “Tough’ one as the two leading teams were those skipped by Bob Tough and Ann Tough with both teams having a perfect three wins. However the team of Bob Tough, Louisa Arthur and Barbara Covert took the trophy by virtue of their higher cumulative points total of 42 compared to Ann’s 34. This was the second consecutive club tournament win for Bob Tough and for lead Barbara Covert and it seemed appropriate that their vice, club President Louisa Arthur, should be on the winning team on anniversary day.
This was the second time in three days that Ann Tough had skipped a team into second place in a tournament. Playing with Kathleen Shirley and Carol Dewey they placed second in a major ladies triple tournament at the Pickering club on August 7th – only one point behind the winners! Congratulations to them.
