Two Parksville Teams Place in Top 8 in Gold Bowl Scorcher on Weekend

July 9, 2024

Parksville Lawn Bowling Club

The Imagine Cruises Gold Bowl saw 22 teams entered this past weekend in Nanaimo. Both day’s games were played under brilliant blue skies and extremely hot temperatures. The incredibly fast greens made it both fun and a challenge to play.

The overall winners of the event went to the team of Dean Penny, Frank Lo and Shelley McCollum of Courtenay. Our own Martin and Chris Fereday along with Peter Scott took a hard earned second place. Nanaimo’s Vern Hagstrom, Dave Ruckman and Linda Cooper took third. The Nanaimo team of Dezell, Mc Nevin and Korabek rounded out the top four. Adrian and Kathleen Hewitt and Ross Nakagawa, also of Nanaimo took fifth. Jean and Keith Roney along with Kate Wilson placed sixth. The Yewers and Lundgren team, also of Nanaimo came in seventh while our own team of Rick Dolley, Merry Danarti and Sandi Mitchell wrapped up eighth place.
