It was a full house at the Cobourg Community Centre on January 31st for the second short mat tournament of the season. There were 12 mats in play and Drawmaster Terry Bradshaw split the field into two divisions.
In the “Competitive” division there were 16 teams: 2 from Lindsay, 2 from Kingston, 3 from Ottawa, 1 from Oshawa and 8 from Cobourg. In the “Leisure” division (but just as competitive) there were 8 teams: 2 from Lindsay and 6 from Cobourg. Each team played four games of 10 ends. The tournament was run with professional precision by Terry and Al Bell and Donna Longman and her team of volunteers made sure there was no shortage of refreshments and snacks. The refreshments included a surprise ingredient: a delightful table of spectacular pastries baked by Michelle Bignell. Too much to eat at the tournament but many of the players departed with what was left over.
The tournament saw great shots, near misses and close measures. There was chalker after chalker and many a game decided in the last end. All in all, an enjoyable day with old and new friends. Congratulations to all involved.
