A MIGHTY BIG POBO THANK YOU TO ROXANNE BROWN JEWELLERY!

A huge thank you to Roxanne Brown Jewellery for her tremendous and continued support of POBO and the Regina Lawn Bowling Club!

Once again this year, every POBO player received a beautiful, one-of-a-kind resin pendant — a very special keepsake to remember the tournament by.

And our four POBO champions — Jon, Matthew, Darrell and Bryan — rode away with something extra special: a silver POBO flipping coin to commemorate their first-place finish!

The value of these incredible gifts? Well, pardners, it’s mighty hard to put a price on something this special!

Roxanne, thank you so much for your incredible generosity and for everything you continue to do to support POBO and the RLBC. Your kindness helps make this tournament truly memorable for everyone who takes part.

We’re mighty grateful to have you along for the ride!

POBO 2026 Finale!

After three days of incredible competition, plenty of laughs, and more than a few spectacular shots, it all came down to Championship Monday!

The playoff trail looked like this:

Jack Smugglers vs Chuck Around and Find Out
Rusty Spurs vs The Bias Bandits
Hay Bale Rustlers vs The Giddy Up Gang
The Bison Bowlers vs 4 Spurs & a Jack

As the prairie dust settled on a cool Saskatchewan afternoon, four teams rode off into the sunset while four remained in the hunt for POBO glory.

Semi-Finals
Jack Smugglers vs The Bison Bowlers
Rusty Spurs vs Hay Bale Rustlers

That set the stage for one final showdown.

Gold Medal Match
Jack Smugglers vs Hay Bale Rustlers

Bronze Medal Match

Congratulations to our 2026 POBO Champions – The Jack Smugglers!

A very special thank you to Keith Roney, whose generous sponsorship provided an additional bounty top-up for every player in the prize money. Your continued support of POBO is sincerely appreciated!

POBO simply wouldn't happen without an incredible crew of volunteers. From setting up the greens, preparing meals, running the bar, organizing draws, cleaning up, and everything in between—thank you. Your time, energy, and countless hours behind the scenes made this event such a success.

And finally, thank you to every player who saddled up for POBO 2026. Wherever you finished in the standings, you brought enthusiasm, sportsmanship, laughter, and true camaraderie to every game. The friendships, smiles, and unforgettable moments are what make POBO so special.

Until the next time the posses gather, keep your bowls rolling true, your draw shots close, and your cowboy hats ready.
