What a great weekend of lawn bowls action at the club as we hosted the 2026 Jack Robar Memorial Open Triples- one of our biggest events of the year! The competition brought together 14 awesome teams from all over the province to battle it out for top honours. Congratulations to Cameron Lefresne, Chris Cooper and Dennis Mullane on winning this year’s championship with a win over Cathy Mills, Vicki Balcom and Lorraine Bezanson. It was a big win as Cam and Dennis both win their 8th title each (between the Robar and the event’s former name- the Dudley Kerr). Dennis won his first title on the trophy back in 1974! In the other finals, Ian MacDonald, Matt Sebastian and Greg Heatherington won the B final over Steve Ogden, Rick Fry and Grahame Usher. In the C final, Doug McLearn, Mike LeBlanc and Lorne Davis took out the title in a win over Mark Robar, Mark Singer and Eric Veinot. In the consolation game, Al Bridges, Joe Casey and Rob Gordey defeated Tyler Marshall, Ryan Campbell and Mark Teeple. Thanks to everyone who helped make this year’s Robar tournament an awesome success. Hope to see you all in 2027 (and many more teams too!).
