ON'B' Julia Farrell, Shirley Vidler, Freda Gersok 5
AB Cecilia Gillespie, Mary Gubitz, Vera Eddy 20
Beat Alberta, an ON'A' loss and it looks like point differential will send this team to Bronze game.

ON'A' Glen Patton, Eldon McFadyen, Alex Graham 17
BC Christie Graham, Francis Yau, Stanley Chow 25

ON'B' Chuck Townsend, Doug Hoskin, Dave Gray 13

A win and play for Gold appears in the cards with tie breaking rules.

Sunday September 9
Round 7
10:00 AM (EDT)
ON'A' Maureen Thompson, Eileen Malpass, Carol Carter 4  
MB'A' Elaine Jones, Clarice Fitzpatrick, Betty Van Walleghem 16 
A four way battle between top 4 teams shaping up. Maureen and friends need to win at least 2 of 3 remaining games to have a chance at gold match. A good place to start is this game against the number 1 MB trio.

ON'B' Julia Farrell, Shirley Vidler, Freda Gersok 15
NS Debbie Foster, Anita Knox, Valerie Bechard 16
Julia's team still have medal hopes and a win over 2nd place NS is a step up for both Ontario teams.

ON'A' Glen Patton, Eldon McFadyen, Alex Graham 17  
MB'A' Maurice  Van Walleghem,MB'A' Maurice  Alan Clackson, John Baron 8  
A wild battle for ' who's on third'. Five teams tied after the top two. Win is the name of the game.

ON'B' Chuck Townsend, Doug Hoskin, Dave Gray 8 
NS Calvin Bechard, Alex Vance, Keith Finck 11
A big win run underway. No time to take your foot off the pedal.

MB'A' Elaine Jones, Clarice Fitzpatrick, Betty Van Walleghem 22
ON'B' Julia Farrell, Shirley Vidler, Freda Gersok 9

A good day two for Farrell's team. A pair of wins puts them back in the pursuit of precious medal.
The undefeated MB'A' team are on a golden run. Jones and Van Walleghem captured the Fours and Fitzpatrick the Pairs at the Nationals. A feather for ON'B''s cap to place a roadblock in their podium march.
ON'A' Glen Patton, Eldon McFadyen, Alex Graham 11
NB Pat Beggs, Jeff Mulhern, Walter Steeves 12

ON'B' Chuck Townsend, Doug Hoskin, Dave Gray 21 
MB'A' Maurice Van Walleghem, Alan Clackson, John Baron 13
The London boys need this win. Two ties are good but the cost in total match points can leave you looking in from the outside.
Round 6
2:30 PM (EDT)
ON'A' Maureen Thompson, Eileen Malpass, Carol Carter 14
ON'B' Julia Farrell, Shirley Vidler, Freda Gersok 14
The kin get together and it will be competitive and close. And important moving forward!
ON'A' Glen Patton, Eldon McFadyen, Alex Graham 8
ON'B' Chuck Townsend, Doug Hoskin, Dave Gray 15

Friday September 7
Round 3
10:00 AM (EDT)
ON'A' Maureen Thompson, Eileen Malpass, Carol Carter 8
SK'A' Barb Mannion, Freda Toffolo, Carolyn Jones 19
Carol Carter is a very consistent lead and she and Maureen just missed qualifying for the Canadian  Major Pairs. Eileen Malpass joined the team this year and brings her long experience in the summer game and Arizona winter training to make their medal challenge real.  

ON'B' Julia Farrell, Shirley Vidler, Freda Gersok 10
MN'B' Jean Roeland, Emilie Ammazzinni, Betty Grundy 6

ON'A' Glen Patton, Eldon McFadyen, Alex Graham 15
SK'A' David Calam, Ralph Van Iderstine, Wayne Slinn 14
Skip Calam was on fire against the ON'B' team so it is up to Patton's trio to put out the fire.

ON'B' Chuck Townsend, Doug Hoskin, Dave Gray 14
MB'B' Bob Van Walleghem, John Bjornson, Blaine Hyslop 14

Round 4
2:30 PM (EDT)
ON'A' Maureen Thompson, Eileen Malpass, Carol Carter 15
AB Cecilia Gillespie, Mary Gubitz, Vera Eddy 13

ON'B' Julia Farrell, Shirley Vidler, Freda Gersok 11
SK'B' Vi McPherson, Jo Urquhart, Marg Kushnier 8
A key game for the Farrell crew against a two game winner . Close matches on Day 1 could easily turn in their favour today.

ON'A' Glen Patton, Eldon McFadyen, Alex Graham 17
AB Peter Gubitz, Allan Walker, Ross Richards 12

ON'B' Chuck Townsend, Doug Hoskin, Dave Gray 26
SK'B' Glen Mowery, Harry Robbins, Brian Davies 6
A solid effort in the BC tie so a full point day is in the cards today to put Townsend's team back in the medal hunt. 
Thursday September 6
Round 1
11:00 AM (EDT)
WOMEN
ON'A' Maureen Thompson, Eileen Malpass, Carol Carter 16
NS Debbie Foster, Anita Knox, Valerie Bechard 14
A couple of the favourites clash on Day 1. Two experienced skips with both Foster and Knox continuing on from the Montreal Nationals.
ON'B' Julia Farrell, Shirley Vidler, Freda Gersok 14
SK'A' Barb Mannion, Freda Toffolo, Carolyn Jones 15
Another strong team from Ontario. This team from the Burlington club features sisters Julia and Shirley and they want to complete this year with a flourish. Shirley indicated at the Windsor play downs that this may be her last year of competitive bowls.
MEN
ON'A' Glen Patton, Eldon McFadyen, Alex Graham 17
NS Calvin Bechard, Alex Vance, Keith Finck 14
The return of Glen Patton to the competitive Ontario scene, A champion bowler from the past has hardly missed a beat in his return to Canadian championships. He has joined with the veteran Eldon and the veteran,veteran Alex to provide a serious podium challenge.
ON'B' Chuck Townsend, Doug Hoskin, Dave Gray 4
SK'A' David Calam, Ralph Van Iderstine, Wayne Slinn 16
Always in the hunt, Townsend and Hoskin have tons of experience in playing for the top prize. Their teammate Gray has the ability, just not the opportunity to play at this level. 
Van Iderstine now on home turf was a member of the silver medal team last year and Calam has been a medalist at the Majors and Seniors in the past.
Round 2
3:30 PM ( EDT)
ON'A' Maureen Thompson, Eileen Malpass, Carol Carter 22
MN'B' Jean Roeland, Emilie Ammazzinni, Betty Grundy 13

ON'B' Julia Farrell, Shirley Vidler, Freda Gersok 10
BC On Kow Au, Jaunita Tucker, Mary Wright 14
Mary Wright skipped and Tucker viced BC to Fours Silver at Montreal. With On Kow skipping this entry you have a hint of her bowling prowess. A challenge for the Burlington team but they also have that secret weapon in Freda Gersok, a bowler with South African experience.

ON'A' Glen Patton, Eldon McFadyen, Alex Graham 11
MB'B' Bob Van Walleghem, John Bjornson, Blaine Hyslop 17


ON'B' Chuck Townsend, Doug Hoskin, Dave Gray 11
BC Christie Graham, Francis Yau, Stanley Chow 11
This same BC team just squeezed out of the medal round last year in Port Alberni. Graham is a long time elite bowler from the province.
