PLAYING FOR GOLD SUNDAY JULY 8, 8:30 AM
nipping D9's Dorthea Phair and Fran Todd in the extra end in Round three. Thompson sliced the jack to Carter's 3 yard back bowls to prolong the match and then good lead bowls by Carol in the add on provided a safe resting spot after Phair trailed the jack.
Two home teams accomplished it the hard way to qualify for Sunday's Gold Medal game.
Maureen Thompson and Carol Carter did it more spectacularly by scoring 3 in the last end to tie and then
The D2 ladies will face Cindy Higgins and Carol Finlayson who pulled on their bowling gloves and dug deep all day. Out of the blocks early in Round 1, they edged a pre-tournament favourite, Susan Smith and Laura Hudson 15-14 in their next game and proceeded to stay steady and controlled in edging the Niagara area team of Katherine Smith/ Rosemarie Small 13-11 to end the day.
Kevin Jones and James Covell were consistent, albeit created a bit of a concern for their fans, in the hot humid weather all day long. Down a handful of points and more in each of their 3 matches in the early going, the wily veterans nipped and tucked until the deficit was erased and the day was won.
They will face the dynamic duo from District 1, Tom Roth and his son in law Ron Whitehead. Draw and
drive is their modus operandi. Get them close but if not whack the opponents and start again.
A breakfast treat being served on Dundas East on the morrow.

You can't get to London this weekend! Ontario Bowls Championships you know and the action and weather will be hot. Perhaps even a little rain to muddy the results.
I am experimenting with the draw, predicting, seeding, looking at another way.
I have requested of a group of veteran competitive bowlers, not in the Pairs competition, to pick the top ten from each division.I have reduced that number to the top 8 for mock draft purposes.
