On Thursday July 3 the ladies took over the greens for their annual Triples tournament. 8 Cobourg teams & 8 out of town teams took to the South green for battle.
The day started with threatening weather but ended up being a great day to be out bowling. The ladies had a great time right from the get go. Ralph noted that the loud boisterous conversations made it hard for him to concentrate on his Share the Wealth duties.
The first games were close with only one of the 16 teams managing to get the maximum score of 21 for 14 ends. No surprise that it was last years winner Nicky Chamois from Oshawa. Lunch was a table of endless salads, desserts, ham provided by all the Cobourg bowlers & served up by Mike Place, Tom Bevan & Bill Arthur (with a few pointers from the ladies on how to make coffee!)
The last game off of the green was the one that decided who the trophy would go to and Maureen Guppy’s team with Anna Panton skipping got the edge on Nicky 13-11. The other prizes went to:
1st Place: Anna Panton, Maureen Guppy and Mary Minich (Lindsay) 2W 33 pts ($225)
2nd Place: Julie Perry, Bayley van Steijn and Dana Williams (Cobourg) 2W 31 pts($210)
3rd Place: Janice Slobojan, Jackie Dunkerley, Elaine McSween (Cobourg/Whitby/Balmy) 2W 30 pts ($210)
4th Place: Kim Bonisteel, Liz Reid and Judy Steinke (Belleville/Kingston) 2W 29 pts ($195)
5th Place: Nan Hendren,Ann Tough and Mary Salter 1W 34pts ($165)
6th Place: Nicky Chamois, Sue Logeman, Nancy Myers (Oshawa) 1W 32 pts ($90)
Thanks to my assistant draw master Dot MacRae who put her curling draw experience to good use . . . and guest 50/50 number announcer Lily.
