THURSDAY MORNING LADIES’ TRIPLES

JOAN PRICE QUADDIE

Juan de Fuca LBC hosted the annual Joan Price Quaddie on Tuesday, July 14, welcoming 20 teams to this popular and enjoyable tournament.

The Joan Price Quaddie has been a favourite event since its inception in 1999. To learn more about its history, please select the HISTORY link.

Congratulations to this year’s tournament winners, listed below, and to all the teams who participated and made the day such a success.

A special thank you goes to a Juan de Fuca LBC member who stepped in at the last minute after a player became ill. Thanks to her willingness to help, two teams were able to remain in the tournament rather than having to withdraw. 👏👏

We also extend our sincere appreciation to the Games Committee, Field Setup Crew, Kitchen Crew, Umpires, and the Markers. Without the time, effort, and dedication of these volunteers, events like this would not be possible.
