Siteman and Foster-Veinot Quintets win 2025 Provincial Championships

It was an exciting competition today at the Wanderers Lawn Bowls Club as the 2025 Provincial 5-A-Side Championship took to the greens with spots in Edmonton at Nationals on the line. There were lots of great games and a wild atmosphere with Game 3 being during a sold out HFX Wanderers FC U21 Game against Wrexham AFC’s U21 squad.
In the Men’s Championship, the team of John Siteman, Raymond MacDonald, Terry O’Neil, Grahame Usher and Kevin Stewart won the inaugural Dennis Mullane Cup title with a 5 games to 1 series win over Greg Heatherington, Tyler Marshall, Curtis Cartmill, Mark Teeple and James Anderson.
In the Women’s Championship, it was the defending Deborah Foster Cup Champions Tammy Foster-Veinot, Jackie Foster, Ann Marie Siteman, Lorraine Bezanson and Vicki Balcom who took out this year’s title with a 4 games to 2 series win over Debby Purdy, Joyce Anderson, Carolyn Reeves, Betty MacAlpine and Charmaine Cameron.
Our 2025 Provincial Champions will advance on to represent Nova Scotia at the 2025 Canadian Lawn Bowling Championship in Edmonton, Alberta. Thanks to the Wanderers Lawn Bowls Club, Provincial Match Chair Mark Robar, our umpiring crew (Joan MacDonald and Rick Fry), Kathy Myketyn for providing lots of treats for the players and all the volunteers who helped assist with ensuring the competition ran smoothly. Our next competition on the calendar will be the 2025 Atlantic Bowls Triples Trials next weekend at the Cobequid Lawn Bowls Club in Truro.
