Mallard's Team of the Week — Nelson's Seniors Games Athletes
By The Nelson Daily Sports
The 2011 B.C. Senior Games are just around the corner, literally.
The provincial competition begins Tuesday in the West Kootenay — opening ceremonies at Haley Park in Warfield — with the three cities — Trail, Nelson and Castlegar — joining forces to host the games.
In 2010, a handful of Nelsonites braved the long trek to Campbell River to compete in the provincial competition.
Many of this group most likely will be front and centre with home court advantage when the games begin.
Staff and management at Mallard’s Source for Sports would like to wish the seniors good luck with Team of the Week honours.
The group includes, back row, L-R, Clint Saunders (track and field), Bruce Lockhart (slopitch), Don Currie, Roger Kerby (badminton), Mike Adams (cycling) and William Kalyniuk (golf).
Middle, Blaine Rains (bowling), Rene Forrest (bowling), Linc Vital (bowling), Lorna Hamilton (bowling), Barb Saunders (track and field), Dawn Williams (bowling), Joan Deane (track and field) and Roy Deans (cribbage).
Front, Lola Swetlikoe (bowling), Rusty Denny (bowling), Lee McNeill (bowling), Effie Rains (bowling), Lydia Kania (race walk), Audey Kempin (bowling), Lee Waddell (golf), Marion Williamson (cribbage) and picture organizer Marylee Banyard (swimming).
