What a great tournament we had on Saturday. Fourteen teams competed in an open mixed pairs tournament sponsored by we-fix-u physiotherapy and foot care. With seven teams from our club there were high hopes of a local win. However, despite some good performances none of the Cobourg teams were in the prizes. The best performance by a home team came from Jo and Dave Carleton with 2 wins and 37 points which placed them fifth overall. Peter Kurita and Jean Livingston also had 2 wins with 34 points.
I won’t bore you with the story of how Louisa and I came back from 0-13 after 7 ends of our first game to win 17-13 but it’s a story I would be happy to regale you with any time you want!
Last year’s winners Al Handlechner and Jan Young from Peterborough were the defending champions and after two games were one of four teams still in the hunt for the trophy. However a 10-6 loss to the Port Hope team of Stan and Sheryl Zuly in the third and final game meant they relinquished the trophy to another Peterborough team - Norm and Mary Smith. The Smiths defeated Ted and Sharron Morrison of Oshawa in their final game to finish with a perfect 3 wins and 41 points.
Thanks to all the volunteers yesterday. There is a lot of work that goes into preparing for and running a tournament and the slideshow below gives some idea of that.
