John Whyte, Gloria Cheung ON 'A'
SK win two to wear the Round Robin crown. BC'B' drop two but had enough early success to hold onto second. John Whyte and Gloria Cheung complete a must win vs NB in their last RR game to move to the Bronze medal game. It might have been an AllOntario Bronze match but QC knocked off and out Vince Donohoe and Jackie Hogan in their final game.
Alberta ended tied in points with 10 with ON'A' and QC but were eliminated by point differential between the three teams.
Ontario'A' [23-7 AB], [29-17 QC] Diff +28
Quebec [ 16-13 AB ], [17-29 ON'A' ] Diff -9
Alberta [ 13-16 QC ], [ 7-23 ON'A' ] Diff -19
Francis Yau and Shirley Choy jumped to the top of the standings with a pair of comfortable wins over the Ontario brethern. They needed help from the frisky Carignan/Parsons-Brown of QC who knocked the Pituleys from the undeated ranks with a 17-16 victory.
Followed by a significant 29-17 win by John Whtye and Gloria Cheung over QC.
Moving day and the packing is a bit chaotic.
These results are after two games on day 3 with one more being played to-night.
The Mackies of Alberta are the other 2 game winner on this Thursday so far and have moved into a 3rd place tie with ON'A'. Despite 2 losses, On'B' still in the hunt for a medal.
Vince Donohoe and Jackie Hogan waltzed, make that tippy toed, through the day with 3 wins and a tie for 2nd in the standings with BC'B'. Two 1 point wins and the other by 2 still add up to a 6 point effort. John Whyte and Gloria Cheung dropped their opening match in the morning to the undefeated SK team in a close 20-22 battle but then went on to win a pair and settle into 4th in the overall rankings after 5 rounds.
Thursday much of the play will pit Ontario against British Columbia (4 games) and the results of those matches will go a long way in sorting the seekers.
Jon and Harriette Pituley from Regina are on top but only after edging ON'A' and then won 16-15 in a game against the then undefeated BC'B' team.
The dust will start to settle at dusk on the morrow.
A dandy battle twix the Ontario teams to start the competition. It appears that the son-mom team from SK are the pair to beat after they beat Donohoe/Hogan
26-18 on day one. It is Ontario A's turn in the first game to-day(Wed) vs the same Pituley clan which will be revealing in setting an early tournament trend.

Medal Rounds 12:30pm EDT
Where have you been?
I have been everywhere looking for you.
Not on the pool deck, not outside puttering in the sensational weather, not out and about with the tomato wagons and not playing in my fantasy baseball and football pools. I thought I might see you in Detroit with the Jays in town but hard to find you with 40,000 + crowding around.
Boy, it was close.We can't miss taking one more trip across our great country to keep an eye on the Mixed Pairs.
Practice to-morrow afternoon , Monday, September 8th. The Official Opening with reception to take place the same evening at 7:00 pm. A ten team round robin to follow with half of the teams a family affair. I know that Harriette and Jon Pituley are mom and son and I am guessing that the Grahames (BC), the Mackies (AB), the Mulhollands (MB) and the Robars (NS) are married couples. Now that is neat.
Another competitive event for sure. Toronto will be take on the other provinces. John Whyte and Gloria Cheung plus Vince Donohoe and Jackie Hogan can and must play well to medal. Chris Grahame has wandered from the Nationals in Nova Scotia to the Seniors in Maple Ridge and won't get home until his visit to the Okanagan Valley is completed.
Shirley Chou (BC) ranked 12th in Singles in the World Bowls Rankings.
Harriette Pituley is a National Team member with International playing experience. Jon is one of the top Under 25's in the country.
Rosalie Parsons-Brown (QC) was a member of the Bronze medal Pairs team at the Majors.
Nothing minor about this competition.
California here they come. The usual fall flight south will commence this week. The US Open is in San Francisco and Canadians are a strong presence at this event which starts next weekend.
It is earlier than usual and with our season still very active the numbers will be impacted.
With the 2009 Open in October and in popular Sun City Arizona , arrangements are already underway to send a bigger contingent.
The Professional Bowlers Association Canadian Finals are set to go at the Pacific Indoor Bowling Club in Vancouver on September 20th. It is where east meets west in a single match in five different events to decide who visits the UK. It is bowling for dollars grass style.
If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail.
If you can't be the sun, be a star.
For it isn't by size that you succeed or you fail.
Be the best at whatever you are.
