OBA Singles Results

Editor: Theresa Kennedy
Date: 2025-06-27

It appears that 9 is a lucky number - 9 female bowlers, 9 Burlington bowlers and 2 games of 9 sets in the Championship final.  There were many known names and some newcomers.  All played well in hot and humid conditions, especially as the day wore on, but were ably assisted by all the markers (THANK YOU!) and other volunteers. Special call out to Rebecca Medley, a brand, brand new bowler who recently joined the club and has only played a few games in Saturday jitneys.  She learned a lot from the players and the other markers!  Special recognition to Jim Steckle, a 2nd year novice who made it past the 3 games but not quite to the winners circle.  

The results are: 

• Champion - Derek McKie (third time lucky for him)
• Runner up - Murray Bennewies
• 3rd place - David Llewellyn
• 4th place - Jake Masterson
• 1st Flight Winner - Trevor Whyte
• 1st Flight Runner Up - Steve Nelson
• 2nd Flight Winner - Bob Penner
• 2nd Flight Runner up - MARION BRUNTON (of Burlington)
• 3rd Flight Winner - PATRICK COTE (of Burlington)
• 3rd Flight Runner up - Desmond Tibby
