Congratulations to Canada on winning all the awards at the recently completed North American Challenge between Canada and the USA. The only close competition was for the Jarvis Men’s trophy, which was tied at 10 wins each, with Canada winning by virtue of a one point shot differential on total points for and against.
Canada goes home with the following trophies and plaques:
• Men’s and Women’s Folkins
• Men’s and Women’s Jarvis
• Overall winner (combined Folkins and Jarvis)
The real winner was the great competition amongst friendly rivals, fine sportsmanship displayed by all players, and friendships that were renewed or made as a result of this event.
Thank you, Milwaukee LBC, for hosting such a fine event!
