A fun, social day was had by all that attended the annual Parksville/Cowichan Bay Challenge on September 9. First, there was the 10 end challenge in the morning which was played under cloudy skies. In the afternoon, the skies cleared and made way for a sunny 12 end game. Parksville came out the winner for this year’s event, having won last year’s as well.
The Parksville teams ended u winning 9 games for a total of 27 points while Cowichan Bay Lawn Bowling Club took 7 games and earned 21 points.
This yearly event began back in 2008 between the two clubs, and is much anticipated every September. A very big thank you to all who took part in the event, and once again, thanks to Chuck Benson for his great photos.
