The juniors took center stage at the club today with an open triples tournament. Junior bowlers from Lindsay, Midland, Kitchener and Cobourg competed in the tournament which was sponsored by Cobourg Buy & Sell. The two favourites for the tournament were the teams skipped by our own Ben Van Steijn (playing with Will Richardson and Hilary Groves) and Graydon Wood of Midland. Graydon’s team had a last minute change when their lead dropped out but Keiran McFarlane of Cobourg stepped in.
Each team played 3 games of 10 ends and after their second round games there was nothing between Ben's team and Graydon's with 2 wins each and both had 25 points. In a very close contest Ben's team were one point behind going into the final end and at one stage in that end had four bowls scoring which would have given them the game. However Graydon reduced that to one point and in an effort to secure the second point that he needed Ben had an unlucky deflection of the jack that led to Graydon winning the end.
Baylee Van Steijn, playing with Erika Groves and Owen Kirby of Kitchener came third. All in all though a good day for the Cobourg juniors as the six players competing finished in the top three.
Full results and photos of the winners are on the respective pages. Also a short slide show of some photos taken during the tournament is below.
