Aussi (Open) Pairs
July 5, 2023

We had 12 teams, on noticeably faster greens, for this annual event. Players came from as far as Cobourg to the west and Ottawa to the east. Special thanks to the tournament coordinator and drawmaster, Louise St. John, for her exceptional efforts in making this happen!

It was a beautiful day for bowling in Kingston. What a great way to celebrate National Bowls Day! It was also great to see so many first- and second-year bowlers taking part. They are the future of the sport!

The results were achingly close. After consulting HAL, the KLBC tie-breaking wizard, today's top finishers are...

1st Place - Donnie Wartman and Paul McLaughlin
2nd Place - Curtis Wartman and Isaac Kerr
3rd Place - Pierre Vanderhout and Louise St. John

Thanks to drawmaster and tournament coordinator Louise St. John for all her hard work. We're already looking forward to our next event - another Open Pairs event on July 5. See you then!
