​It was an exciting final day of provincial championship action in Truro as the Provincial Singles Championship came to a close. With lots of exciting matchups throughout the weekend and excellent shotmaking, the games lived up to an exciting billing as a great end to the 2021 Playdown season.
In the Men’s Singles, it was multi time former champion Steve Bezanson who returned to the top of the podium with a 21-16 win over Terry O’Neil in the A Final during the morning draw. During a very rainy lunchtime session, Steve Ogden defeated Terry O’Neil 21-14 in the B final and Mark Robar defeated Keith Finck 21-13 in the C Final.
In the Women’s Singles, the final three played on Sunday to determine the final placings and of course who would be taking the trophy. In the morning semifinal- it was Ann Marie Siteman who advanced to the final with a 21-13 win over Debbie Tower. In the final, it was Siteman’s pairs and fours teammate Vicki Balcom who had a strong performance to pick up the gold medal.
Nova Scotia will be represented at the 2022 Canadian Lawn Bowling Championship in the Men’s Singles by Steve Bezanson (A Winner), Steve Ogden (B Winner) and Mark Robar (C Winner) and in the Women’s Singles by Vicki Balcom (A Winner), Ann Marie Siteman (B Winner), and Debbie Tower (C Winner). Congratulations to all of the winners! Thanks to everyone at Cobequid Lawn Bowls Club who helped put on the event this weekend and to the umpiring crew of Nancy Latimer and Kathy Myketyn who came from the city to umpire throughout the weekend. For the final step on the LBNS Provincial Playdown season, we head back to the Bedford Lawn Bowls Club for the final event of the 2021 Season schedule, the Late Owl Mixed Fours!

Team Nova Scotia competes in 2021 Atlantic Bowls in Fredericton

A belated congratulations to the team of Braeden Campbell, Cameron LeFresne and Mike Stewart- who captured a silver medal in the Men’s Triples competition at the 2021 Atlantic Bowls Championship last weekend in Fredericton. This year’s event featured just Men’s and Women’s Triples due to the uncertainty around provinces being able to hold playdowns in both of the traditional disciplines of the tournament (Pairs and Triples). We had two Women’s Triples teams (Val Bechard/Jeanette Street/Carolyn Reeves and Kathy Myketyn/Carolyn Ulch/Betty MacAlpine) and a New Brunswick team (Lawrence Keegan/Peter McClusky/Yves Martin) that joined us in the Men’s Triples to complete our Team Nova Scotia for this year’s edition. Congratulations to all of our teams on representing Nova Scotia well in an unprecedented edition of the Atlantic Bowls! Congratulations to Quebec on winning this year’s Sid Currie Memorial Trophy title with 3 of the 6 medals (and both gold medals). We look forward to seeing lots of people back competing for the opportunity to represent Nova Scotia at the 2022 Atlantic Bowls in Quebec when the playdowns come next summer!

Ogden/Bezanson and Tower/Latimer win Provincial Pairs Titles

​It was a hard fought day of bowls that came right down to the last shot for both the Men’s and Women’s Provincial Pairs Championships held this weekend at the Wanderers Lawn Bowls Club. With the second set of spots in the 2022 Canadian Lawn Bowling Championship on the line- the competition was excellent all weekend long on the greens in Downtown Halifax.
In the Women’s Pairs, it was the team of Debbie Tower and Nancy Latimer who came through the B Bracket to win the title defeating defending champions Ann Marie Siteman and Vicki Balcom in two hard fought contests- 18-14 in the 9am session and 16-15 in the afternoon session. The final match came down to the last three shots of the 18th end with excellent final bowls from Latimer and Tower to get the single shot they needed to win the match and the championship.
In the Men’s Pairs, it came right down to the final session of the weekend as Steve Ogden and Steve Bezanson won their 8th Provincial Men’s Pairs Championship together as a team- defeating Rick Fry and Rick Burrows 15-14 in an extra game after a win earlier in the day to force the final round decider. After a strong 5-0 start for the Fry and Burrows combination- it was the former Canadian Pairs winners Ogden and Bezanson who went on a 5 end run to take the lead back. After tight late stages of the game- Fry and Burrows forced their way back into the match with a single in the 17th. Hoping to force the extra end, Fry trailed the Jack back slightly on his second bowl of the final end to sit 2 and a close chance at the three he needed to tie. In the end, a two point end was the final result and a 15-14 win to send Ogden and Bezanson back to the National Championship.
Thanks to Wanderers Lawn Bowls Club for hosting an outstanding Provincial Pairs Championship! The bowls was top notch throughout the weekend. The next stop on the LBNS schedule, we head to the carpet of the Cobequid Lawn Bowls Club for the Provincial Singles Championship- scheduled for September 25th to 26th in Truro.

​It was an exciting day at the St. Mary’s Lawn Bowls Club as we determined our first Provincial Champions of the 2021 season in the Provincial Fours Championship!
In the Men’s Fours, it was the team of Braeden Campbell, Raymond MacDonald, John Siteman and Liam Campbell who went undefeated throughout the weekend to pick up this year’s title with a 4th round win 20-10 over Steve Ogden, Steve Bezanson, Doug McLearn and Phil Balcom. After getting out to a 6-1 lead- Team Ogden went on a 5 point run to tie up the match through 7 ends. After picking up a deuce in the 8th end, Team Campbell went on a 8 point run and after deuces in the 13th and 14th end for Ogden- got 3’s in the final two ends to pick up the victory and a defence of their title for Braeden, Raymond and Liam while a first fours title for John (after previous wins in Men’s Triples in 2018 and Men’s Pairs in 2019).
In the Women’s Fours, it was the Team of Tammy Foster-Veinot, Jackie Foster, Debbie Foster and Lorraine Bezanson who took out this year’s title in a tight clash all throughout Sunday against Lena Cameron, Kate Thompson, Debby Purdy and Carissa Lynch in a rematch of the 2019 final in this year’s edition of the event. In the morning, Team Foster-Veinot pulled off a 13-12 victory to force an extra game in the double knockout event for the title. In the final, it was a tight battle the whole way through as the teams were tied 7-7 after 8 ends of play. In the second half of the match, it was Team Foster-Veinot who pulled ahead with a 7-3 run in the second half to win the title 14-10 victory in the afternoon session. For a few of the members of their squad, it was their 11th Provincial Fours Championship title- showing once again their consistent success in the fours discipline to send them to the National Championships.
Thanks to St. Mary’s Lawn Bowling Club for their great work in putting on this year’s championship. Special thanks to the greens crew who got the green running extremely well for the teams and to the huge crew of umpires who came out to support running the event and ensuring everything was all done up right. Next on our provincial schedule- we head back to the Wanderers Lawn Bowls Club in Halifax for the second part of our Provincial Championships as they host the Provincial Pairs Championship September 11th-12th. Stay tuned as the draw will come out later this week!
