The club hosted the 13th Annual Masters Plus Bonspiel this past Thursday and Friday.

We had six teams from away, a team from Summerside, and nine Cornwall teams.

We had TWO undefeated teams – Team Bishop and Team MacAulay both had 4-0 records worth 12 points each.  However, Team Bishop won the tiebreaker based on LSD by 26.1mm. 

Team Bishop (Bill Bishop, Shelley Ebbett, Tom O’Rourke, and Marlis O’Rourke) each received Red Shores Brunch vouchers.

Team MacAulay (Ian MacAulay, Blair Weeks, Mark O’Rourke, Danny Kneabone, and Mike Dillon) will receive Ultimate Dining Cards.

We also had a three way tie for third place – with Teams Canfield (Pugwash, NS), Team Murdoch, and Team Braedley (Sackville, NB) all finishing with 2-0-1 records worth 7 points.  However, based on the head-to-head tiebreakers Team Canfield claimed third, Team Murdoch fourth, and Team Braedley fifth.

Special thanks goes to Rodd Hotels and Resorts for providing a wonderful event rate and a free night stay prize, Mel’s for providing gift cards, and Red Shores for providing brunch passes.  

We would also like to thank Paul Dorsey, Linda Fairhurst, Debbie Rhodenhizer, Gloria Turner, and Ken Harrott for helping organize the event and the many volunteers who filled various roles throughout the event. 

NOTE: Many people asked this week what Masters Plus means: at least three of the team members must be Masters age (60+) and one player can be between 55-59.
