====RCC INTER-CLUB BONSPIELS: The Big Pumpkin: 1987====
\\
<WRAP leftalign>
This was the sixth inter-club version of the famous Big Pumpkin, which was won by Harry Hunter's team from Ottawa.  Hunter was a second event winner in 1986, and viced a team that won the main event in 1985.  This was the first time we had trophies (at least for the first three events).  Semi-related, Rochester won the fourth event.  And . . . there was a short game, too!</WRAP>
