On Saturday afternoon, there were 18 players competing in the Willie Steele Trophy, which is a 3-bowl single hand competition. The format was 3 groups of six playing a “round-robin” with the winners of each group and the best runner up contesting the semi-finals. After the group games were completed it was Jean Westwater and D.Baldie, who won all their 5 group games, along with Jim Cameron, who won four of his group games and B.Crombie, as the best runner up with four wins, competing in the semi-finals. The semi-finals were drawn out and there were wins for J.Westwater over B.Crombie, while D.Baldie triumphed over Jim Cameron. In the final, it was Jean Westwater, who probably had the majority of the support, who continued her winning ways when she defeated D.Baldie to add her name to the Trophy. It was Irene Wilkie, Willie Steele’s daughter, accompanied by her grandchildren, Casey and Jaimey Crawford, who presented the trophy and thanked everybody who took part in the competition. The John Archer competition is scheduled for next Saturday which is a mixed pairs competition.
