Cobourg Short Mat bowlers go to Lindsay
Upon arrival at the Lindsay Short Mat facility we were greeted by friendly faces offering tea, coffee and an abundance of muffins, cookies, cakes and other goodies.
A display table had been set up by Sarah Van Steijn with bowling items for sale. Sarah had also entered a team to play in the tournament.
There were 14 teams of which 7 had members from Cobourg.
After selecting our cards for all three games we scrambled to find a free mat to practice on. Good idea - because we discovered the difference in speed on brand new carpets compared to the well used 20+ years old ones we have become accustomed to.
Nevertheless, the Cobourg teams did well - won 2 of the 3 games, 1 Cobourg team won all 3 games, 4 teams won 2 out of 3, 1 team won 1. And I can confirm that the one team who came up short of winning any still enjoyed the day immensely.
The First Place winners with 3 wins were Peter Stuart-Sheppard, Bill McCollam and Lynn Frost.
Second – Tracey Warren, Alan Hunter, Chad Burgie.
Third – Carol-Anne Bell, Jim Baggs, Scott Bell.
Last Game High – Ron Adams, Carol Adams, Dana Williams
Plus a random draw winner – Doug Bagshaw, Janice Cowles, Rex Bussey
Mark your calendars – Rhys Warren et al are planning their next tournament with the hopes that all 11 mats are filled with 66 bowlers. It will be held on April 20th. More details to come.
