There seems to be a trophy size discrimination!

Well deserved by both, Elmdale is equally proud of you both 🙂

This was the 90th year for the GG’s – 2018 – played at the Galetta Bowls Club, Galetta, Ontario.

Both the Men’s Fours & Women’s Fours was won by the Quebec Teams, well played games by all!

History of the Governor General’s Lawn Bowling Tournament

Played yearly, and on a rotational basis between teams from Ontario and Quebec, the Governor Generals began in 1928 with the then Governor General of Canada, His Excellency the Right Honorable Viscount Willingdon, presenting a silver trophy, the “Willingdon Cup” to the winner between the Men’s team from the Eastern Ontario Lawn Bowling Association and the Quebec Lawn Bowling Federation.  In 1993, His Excellency the Right Honorable Raymond Hnatyshyn provided a new trophy, which is played for by the Ladies team, calling it the “Governor General Rose Bowl”.
In addition to the team play, there is also a singles event held with one lady and one man from each province competing head to head. These single players are “Novice” players which means that they have been bowling for three years of less.
