Comox Legion’s eighth Memorial Darts Tournament had 11 teams of four participate in this year’s event, playing a two-game, round-robin format with the top eight advancing to the best-of-three knockout round.
The team of Bill Durant, Shane Dennis, Terry Jackson and Mike Ward beat out Ernie Linden’s team of Dwayne Bennett, Jamie Deith and Bruce Holden in the final best-of-five games.
In third spot was Hap Hanson, Joe McNeil, Stuart Wills and Mike Konchak. The team of Dave and Carol Merkley, Leslie Lamouroux and Bill Footit took fourth place.
High score for the ladies; Thea Van Herwaarden and Wendy Jackson with a 140. The ladies high out was Ann Ward with 95. Men’s high scores (recorded); all with 140 were Joe McNeil, Bruce Holden, Stuart Wills and Shane Dennis. Men’s high out; only one reported Jamie Deith with a 67. One 180 reported, that was for Shane Dennis.
The late member Doris (Dorothea) Cameron was being remembered.
Doris’s family fielded a team, that of her husband Al Sr. and son Al Jr., her granddaughter Thea and grandson Tim and Thea’s partner Rob. Participation of the family was nice to see: they celebrated the event well. Al Jr. presented the trophy to the winners.
Thanks go to those that helped set up the boards and to the gals that put on the lunch. Our next event will be the Pineapple and Ham Shoot in August.
