Pairs Playdowns

Through variable weather over four days, the Pairs Playdowns required playoff games for both the the men and women.
On the women's side, four pairs played equally strong finishing the round robin with a 3-way tie.  Many games bowled to 1 or 2 point conclusions including the final.  Pam Edwards and Debbie Tupper (Portland) squeaked out a 1 point win over Gina Tolentino and Rikki Ricard (Jefferson Park).
For the men seven teams completed a round robin.  A last round loss for the leaders to Shane O'Neill and Richard Broad forced a final playoff.  In the end Andy Klubberud and John Hollingsworth (JP) bested Todd Wagers and Andrew Scheunemann (JP), earning a return trip to the National Championships.
The National Championships will be held at the 100th anniversary of the San Francisco Lawn Bowling Club during September 21-27.
