In a major upset, Sue Roth (centre) led her untested team of second year bowler Betty Baldwin (left) and first year bowler Monique Buckley to a Silver Medal in  the Ontario Novice Championships held at the Sarnia Lawn Bowling Club in Germain Park.

A novice may have up to 5 years experience. A Sunday afternoon win over a previously undefeated veteran Burlington team was the key to capturing the Silver. Final results gave the Gold Medal to New Market,  with Burlington taking Bronze in the Ladies Division. Men’s Gold went to Ridgetown, Silver to Cosburn Park (Toronto) and Bronze to Burlington.
