In 1907 a lawn bowling club was established in Victoria Park. 117 years later we are still here in this historic corner of Cobourg.
We celebrated, as we always do, with an anniversary tournament sponsored by HTM Insurance. There was a huge car show in Victoria Park with different bands playing all day which added to the fun atmosphere of the day.
Normally we play three ten end games but because of the heat the second and third games were reduced to eight ends, a move that all the bowlers were grateful for.
After the first round Terry Bradshaw's team and Kathleen Shirley's team were setting the pace with both teams scoring the maximum 15. They played one another in round two with Terry victorious by 11-4. Meanwhile Bill Arthur's team was making good headway by winning their second round game to set up a third round game against Terry. In a tight game it came down to the last end with Terry winning the game and the tournament. That loss for Bill's team allowed Kathleen Shirley's team to come through into second place.
Winners – Terry Bradshaw, Lisa Collins and Monica Miller 3 wins 34+1
Second – Kathleen Shirley, Brodie Johnston and Dennis Kirby 2 wins 30+2
Third – Bill Arthur and Ken Bevan 2 wins 27+1
One game high – Ann Tough, Laura Mounce, Fran Marsh and Ralph Hewitt (who shared the day)
Thanks to the drawmasters, Mona Attard and Ernie Sapinski and everyone else who helped to make the day successful.
And last but not least to Foodland for the anniversary cake.
