Wayne Wallwork, Al Purcell, Al Handlechner and Gord Terwilleger burst out of the gate on top and never looked back. Wire to wire at 12 to 1 was a sign of things to come on the men's side.
How could we have home field Larry Wales at 8-1. Combined with Mark McFadyen's (11 to 1 ) and Tom Roth's ( 14 to 1 ) teams gritty performances, the Bowls Ontario Bank ( BOB ) had to arrange for a quick subsidy from the government. Told them I supported green initiatives.
Lordy, lordy what is going to happen at the Pairs.
The Results:
1. Wayne Wallwork 4-0 ( 12 to 1 )
2. Steve McKerihen 5-1 ( Even )
3. Larry Wales 4-2 ( 8 to 1 )
4. Brian McCartney 3-2 (5-1 )
4. Chris Stadnyk 3-2 ( 5-1 )
6. Brian Fowler 2-2 ( 10-1 )
6. Mark McFadyen 2-2 ( 11-1)
6. Tom Roth 2-2 ( 14-1 )
9. Albert Wu 1-2 ( 10-1)
9. Dave Burrows 1-2 ( 11-1)
9. Dave Houtby 1-2 ( 6-1 )
9. Ian Jones 1-2 ( 5-1 )
13.Brian Luther 0-2 ( 13-1)
13.Gord Legacy 0-2 ( 13-1 )
13.Peter McFalls 0-2 ( 10-1)
13.Wayne Wright 0-2 ( 6-1)
Get hot you can get a lot. They talk about the NFL being so popular because of teams having the opportunity to go from the basement to the penthouse.
Bowls is parity defined. That is a good thing.
Now the women are much more civilized. They do as they are told and line up in order.
The checklist: Laila Hassan, Chrystal Shephard, Doreen Creaney, Helena Ho are favourites .
Finish position 1st -check
JoAnne Bugler, Maureen Thompson, Sharon Farrish, Carol Carter just behind - 2nd - check.
Leanne Chinery, Rita Wright, Julie Fowler, Andrea Stadnyk a smidgen behind the first two- 3rd- check.
BOB stabilizes with the predictable performance of women.
The Whole Bunch:
1. Laila Hassan 4-0 ( 2-1)
2. JoAnne Bugler 5-1 ( 2.5-1)
3. Leanne Chinery 4-2 ( 3-1)
4. Laura Seed 3-2 ( 7-1 )
4. Noreen Welsh 3-2 ( 7-1 )
6. Auriel Daniell 2-2 ( 5-1)
6. Jean McCron 2-2 ( 9-1 )
6. Helen Wright 2-2 ( 5-1)
9. Pauline Hill 1-2 ( 10-1)
9. Joelle Massey 1-2 ( 12-1)
9. Doreen Semple 1-2 ( 11-1)
9. Jeanine Thornton 1-2 ( 14-1)

13. Elaine Houtby 0-2 ( 13-1 )
13. Marj Kells 0-2 ( 12-1)
13. Connie Steinman 0-2 (14-1)
The house is in order.
BOB reports an overall first quarter loss.
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.
