From May 26th to May 28th, a tournament was held at the Burnside Lawn Bowling Club called the Barry Skinner. The Barry Skinner is a pairs game held over three afternoons or three evenings. This tournament was very well subscribed. The format is three bowl pairs playing 18 ends. The high game winner plays the high game winner on the second and third night from each flight. The first night is a random draw. Brent Jansen from Oak Bay playing with Jill Foster from Gordon won the afternoon draw. The evening draw was won by Aaron Almeida and Sherry McGowan. The winner of the two top teams was determined by total points won in all three games. Almeida/McGowan beat out Jansen/Foster by two points. We greatly appreciate Lindsay and Dan from Burnside Lawn Bowling Club and all the dedicated help from the kitchen staff, umpires, and other volunteers for such a well-organized tournament. Thank you again for your support and participation.
