Competitive lawn bowling mixed with a twist of life. A skilled exciting game hidden from the masses by its image. Often only takes one roll-up to leave you wondering why you waited.

Kaitlin & Dylan Saskatoon Bound
Caldwell settles for soggy silver at provincials

History was made in the rain at the Peterborough Lawn Bowling Club (PLBC) yesterday.
London's Dylan Jacobs and host club's Jesse Caldwell achieved new heights in reaching the final of the Ontario Lawn Bowling Association (OLBA) under-18 boys championships.
With a 21-19 win over the 16- year-old Caldwell, Jacobs, a year older, won his first provincial gold medal and fifth medal in his fifth-consecutive Ontario championship appearance. He earned two silver medals and two bronzes in the previous four affairs.
For Caldwell, it was his first trip to a final and first medal following five journeys to the provincial set.
The local club wasn't finished there as 19-year-old Paul Trevor bested Nepean's Zachary Steel 15-2 to claim the bronze. There were no local bowlers on the girls' side.
Jacobs heads to Saskatoon, Sask., for the national championships and world qualifier Aug. 5-8.
With Ontario sending two representatives, he will be joined by Simcoe' s Kody Olthof, last year's Ontario Summer Games (OSG) champion.
Kitchener's Kaitlin Ryan defeated Niagara Falls's Cassandra Trudel 21-9 in the girls' gold-medal final while Tilbury's Courtney Postma beat Brighton's Stephanie Miller for the bronze. Both Ryan and OSG champion Miller head to Saskatchewan.
There was also competition in U25 with Milton's Kelly Mckerihen edging the Peterborough club's Katie Patenaude 2-1 in the girls' best-of-three final and Burlington's Trevor Whyte getting past Brighton's Steve Miller 2-1 in the boys' final.
They play 21-point games in U18 (15 if they request in some instances including weather), best-of-three seven-end sets in U25. In U25, they all qualified for Saskatoon because it is an open event and there were only four players in the category.
Jacobs finished with a 6-0 record while Caldwell ended up 6-1 in the 18-player boys' field. Caldwell had the extra game because he was in a larger pool. There were 12 in the girls' section. The top two in pools advanced.

Kelly McKerihen & Trevor Whyte Off To Conquer World
There event is now called the Ontario Qualifier for the 2009 World Junior Cup Selection. It is quite a handle but does reflect the specific purpose of this event. It still has an under 25 age qualification, the former name, and is the start of gathering this age group to come to-gether from around the world.
Kelly and Trevor will now travel to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in early August to compete against other young Canadian Provincial winners. If my research is accurate, they are looking to book their flight to Warilla, Australia in April 2010 for the World event.
