Rachel Marcuson and CeCe Le Messurier to Represent PIMD at Nationals
The PIMD Women’s Pairs Playdowns took place over two beautiful, sunny days. Rossmoor welcomed four women’s teams for Day 1 to play the first two of their round robin games. The women played 18-end games, and at the end of the first day Rachel Marcuson and CeCe Le Messurier were 2-0, with Ginger Harris and Janice Bell, and Phyllis Yau-Chan and Mei Chan close behind. After the third game, any first place tie would see an additional tie-breaker game held
Day 2 was held at Berkeley and the last round robin game was played in the morning. A supportive group of spectators saw many great bowls played and in the end, Rachel and CeCe ended 3-0, with the other three teams tied for game points in second. Janine Maddock and Hyldi Vieira just edged past Ginger and Janice for second place based on differential. Rachel and CeCe will now represent PIMD in the National Championships to be held at Laguna LBC in September. Congratulations!
