**And here's a little about the history of this great tournament, and the past winners...

DICK MARINELLI SENIOR

 Dick Marinelli passed away in 1980 and was, up to that time, very involved in the sport of Tenpin, not only as a participant, but also as an administrator and organizer.  He was the City Singles Champion, as well as the Provincial Singles Scratch Champion in 1955.  In 1958, he was again the Provincial Singles Scratch Champion and then went on to become the Western Canadian Champion.

 He was involved in forming the Canadian Tenpin Federation and the Manitoba Provincial Association, and was the Association's first president.  He held executive positions with the Provincial Association as well as the Winnipeg Bowling Association for many years.  He was also instrumental in organizing the Junior Bowling Association.  Dick Marinelli was inducted into the Bowling Hall of Fame of Manitoba in 1988.

 Mrs. Marinelli passed away in 1993.

 He and his family have sponsored the City Singles Scratch Championship since 1960, and Dick Marinelli Jr. and sons Denis and Chris continues to act as one of our sponsors.
