Courtenay Hosts 2-4-2 Tournament
August 7, 2024
Parksville Lawn Bowling Club
August 3rd and 4th were hot and busy days as the Courtenay Club hosted its well attended 2-4-2 Tournament. The hometown team of Vern Greenhill and Leone King were the overall winners of the tournament, beating out our own Chris and Martin Fereday who ended up taking second in “A” Event. Other winners included Mike Ward and Helen Roberts of Qualicum, Linda Mears and Brian Scheer of Courtenay and our own Bob Allaby and Sue Tompkins .
The 2-4-2 game is a nice change from the regular pairs event in that the lead throws 2 bowls, then the skip rolls his/her 4 bowls, and then the lead comes back and rolls their 2 bowls, all in alternate rotation with the other team. In the next end, the person who was skip becomes the lead and rolls his or her bowls in the above 2-4-2 format. It is a lot of fun and gives players a chance to be both a skip and a lead in the same game.

We will be holding a coaching clinic on July 14 at 1:00.
The clinic is for all members of all skills. We will be discussing the role of the ‘third’ or vice skip. Topics discussed, but not limited to, will be the role and duties of the vice, what and how to communicate with your skip, making decisions on who is shot, etc. We will then go outside to discuss what could be played with the various sample heads that will be set up. You will not need any equipment. Bring any questions you may have.
Sign up below or there is a sign up sheet at the club on the coaching bulletin board (the first one as you come into the sunroom).
