Clarkson said Watson is a very popular player in the club: “He gives half-hour lessons prior to play, which many of our players attend and enjoy.”

Watson won the trophy with a record 3,100 rating points. Other top players were Hugh McSheffrey, Hugh Auld, Rogier DeWeever, and Gerry Kelly.

They play every Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Nelson Senior Citizens building at 717 Vernon St.

New players are welcome to join the club the first night is free. “We do our very best to find you a partner,” Clarkson said.
