Jefferson Park Wins Inaugural Seafair Trophy......

Mon, 4 Aug 2008 09:47:12 -0700

Jefferson Park hosted Woodland Park for the honor of being the first Seafair Trophy Winner.

In an intense competition 5 teams of bowlers from each club played 2 games to decide who would win. In the morning set of games, Jefferson Park prevailed, winning 4 and losing 1. After a very nice lunch, Woodland Park won the afternoon session by 3 games to 2 with the Blue Angels roaring overhead. This made Jefferson Park the overall winner by 6 games to 4.

It was a very exciting finish as it was all decided by the last game to finish. Jefferson Park were leading by 14-11 going into the last end with Woodland threatening to have a big end to win the game. The hero was Chris Davis who delivered a great last bowl to prevent a Woodland Park win.

Jefferson Park visit to White Rock is Cancelled

Mon, 30 Jul 2007 15:07:58 -0700

The annual contest between White Rock LBC and Jefferson Park LBC has been cancelled for this year as we could not get enough bowlers to commit to participating. We will try again next year when White Rock are scheduled to visit Jefferson Park.

It is disappointing to have to cancel this event as in the past everyone has had a great time and enjoyed a pleasant day bowling with our friends from British Columbia.

Please consider coming to Jefferson Park on Sunday, August 5th around midday for an open bowls session. We will play games on a social basis and watch the Blue Angels as they streak overhead during their Seafair program.
