The annual Cowichan Bay Two-Bowl Six-Pack Tournament was held on Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26, 2026, hosted by the Cowichan Lawn Bowling Club.
This unique and fast-paced event featured 14 teams from clubs across the region. Over the course of two days, every team completed a full round-robin, playing all 13 opposing teams—7 games on Saturday and 6 games on Sunday. With triples teams playing just two bowls each over six ends, matches moved quickly, averaging approximately 45 minutes per game.
Despite some rain, particularly on Sunday, players demonstrated outstanding skill, stamina, and sportsmanship throughout the weekend against a highly competitive field.
