On Saturday September 14th we held the penultimate club tournament of the year, the Bobby Tough Memorial. The sponsors are Al Bell and Laura Mounce. Ann Tough was playing and presented the trophy at the end of the tournament.
As we come close to the end of the season this tournament is a celebration of Bob Tough's contribution to our club and his smile and sense of fun are reflected by making this a fun tournament with different formats.
Twelve triples teams competed and there were some substitutions on teams to reflect the fact that not everyone wanted to play three games.
In game one we did not centre the jack but played it wherever it landed, assuming it was within bounds. The top scorers in that round were the teams led by Sarah van Steijn and Ernie Sapinski.
In game two three points were awarded for winning an end, regardless of shots scored. Sarah was still in the lead after that round but second place was now Terry Bradshaw who also had two wins.
In game three any bowls short of the jack were removed. In addition each team had two power plays to use during the ten end game. The score was doubled when a power play was used. This was a crucial factor in determining the winner. Sarah was losing to Terry 13-15 but had a power play in the final end. A score of three became six and Sarah won 19-15 to claim the trophy.
The day started with a spider and a prize of $20, donated by Lyle Skidmore. Between games we held two skills competitions. The first was a rolling the jack competition and was won by Ernie Sapinski. The second was a draw to the jack competition which was won by Henry Kowalski. Each won a bottle of wine, donated by Al Bell and Laura Mounce. Finally, Nancy Kirby won the draw for a bottle of whisky which was donated by Ann Tough. Click here for the full result.

Peter Stuart-Sheppard seems to have been playing every day of the last week. That is partly because he stood in at some tournaments for Martin Foxhall. Anyway he won four tournaments in the last week to take his total tournament wins for the season to 12. Congratulations Peter.
