Wild scoop win
Lawn bowlers getting ready to roll
Comox Valley Wild Lacrosse PeeWee division split their home opener doubleheader against the Saanich Tigers this past weekend in Courtenay. Game one saw the Tigers win a squeaker 5-4 while the Wild rallied to a 9-8 victory in game two. The Wild scored five goals in the second period and tied the game with a dramatic goal at the buzzer by Braeden Hemingway before going into period three and clinching the win. Goalie Diego Such was a brick wall in goal and strong line changes and special teams helped the Wild to their first win of the season. – Comox Valley Wild

Courtenay Lawn Bowling greens crew, Archie Harris, Dan Bereza and Mike Kearns, is hard at work getting the green ready for another busy season. Opening Day is Sunday, April 29, starting at 2:30 p.m. Interested visitors are welcome to march around the green with the piper and witness the raising of the flag for the 17th time at this location. (23rd at Kilpatrick) at the entrance to Bill Moore Park, and roll a few bowls. Bowlers have been enjoying the bowling early this year as a few days have been warm enough to leave the “fuzzies” at home. President April Gilchrist is very pleased with the turnout for the semi-annual meeting, as several items of business had to be held over due to lack of a quorum. These meetings are important, members, we need your input. Also the committee for fundraising for the expansion of the clubhouse had very positive reports and further ideas for our share of these expenses. Games chair Peter Harding has some new formats to try out and has the green well scheduled for use in the upcoming season. Remember how I talk about tournament results being decided by the numbers? Boy, has Peter got some pos-
