Phil Thornton and Tony Farrell captured District 5 Monday night in a nail biter over Charlie Roach and Dave Ball. It really was exciting to watch . Fifty spectators returned for the final after an inch of hail delayed the match a day. [ Dave Burrows ]

Great games! Cobourg ladies had to beat Auriel Daniel and Linda Butler (Oshawa) twice to claim the championship. They did it quite handily with some great bowling.
Alan Steffen and brother Robert were down quite a bit in the final game to the Peterborough team of Bob Guppy and Bob Matthews. But they kept chipping away and came back to within one point on the last end. An extra end was possible but Alan Steffen was having none of that and with the last bowl of the game made a beautiful shot to move the jack back for 5 shots and the championship. [ Mary White ]

D15 Iris Sager, Norma Kearns
Peter Wong, Brian Luther

D16 Joan Fedorchuk, Edith Pedden
David Jefferies, Gerry Laporte

History repeated itself in our pairs playdowns. McCartney and Woods vs. Jefferies and Laporte in the final. McCartney and Woods got up 12 - 2 after 8 ends just like in the provincial fours but Jefferies and Laporte came back for a 17-13 win. [ Gerry Laporte ]
