The Four Lads win 46th Community Bonspiel

6 February 2023 à 11:07 am

On Sunday afternoon, the 46th Community Bonspiel wrapped up at the Shawville Curling Club. This years winners were The Four Lads, made up of Skip Basil Hodgins, Third Wayne Park, Second Jerry Callaghan, and Lead Kevin Hannaberry, who claimed the prestigious Toilet Seat Trophy.

The Bonspiel is the club’s biggest fundraiser throughout the year and this is the first time it has been held since 2020. This year 34 teams participated over the course of two weekends, which organizer Ian MacKechnie said was good considering the gap in years due to the pandemic.

During the presentation of the awards on Sunday, long-time club member and past president Jerry Barber explained that the tournament was started in 1976 when the club was in some tough times financially, and helped lift it out of the hole.
