The Australian Pairs, which was instituted in 1987, is the only truly Gender Neutral (men, women or mixed teams allowed) in the entire V&D calendar and some of the best bowlers as well as some up-and-comers make this event a must in their season.
​
The event was renamed while Tony was alive in recognition of his many contributions to the club. Tony served many roles on the executive and was president several times. His outstanding contributions to the club, regional and provincial, organizations and bowls in general won him recognition and awards. Tony was a mainstay of the club until his death in 2018.
The format is 2-4-2 pairs: on alternate ends one team member rolls the first two and the last two bowls and their partner rolls the middle four. On the next end the roles are reversed. So each player gets to play lead and skip.
