June 12, 2006
A total purse of $5700 was up for grabs as WASA returned to Brunswick Carolier Zone in North Brunswick, NJ for the 18th consecutive Ebonite
Open sponsored by Mr. Bob Reid, Vice President of Marketing for Ebonite and hosted by Mr. Warren Fiedler, GM of Carolier.
Two-time champion, Jacqui Reese of Phillipsburg, PA, led the starting field, averaging 234 after nine games of qualifying. With the qualifying
pins dropping in the 6-game round robin matchplay finals and 30 bonus pins awarded for each match won, Jacqui never lost a match but held a
slim lead through the first five games. Seeded fourth after qualifying, defending champion, Jennifer Swanson, Shelton CT, in her semi final
match, shot a 278 game against Darcey Gallogly of Brooklyn, NY to take a 25 pin lead going into the final position round.
In her final match against Jennifer, Jacqui finished with seven strikes for a 248-193 win, taking home her third career title and a check for $900.
Jennifer settled for second place and a $450 payday.
