Bezanson and Balcom win Provincial Singles Titles in Rainy Championship Finale

​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.
