Wow! I was amazed that 12 of us gathered together this morning to kick off our 2022 petanque season.  A quick divide into Ladies and Laddies and we were off with the Ladies scoring the first point.    The Laddies clawed back the equaliser before surging forward by winning the next 2 ends with 3 points in each.

Play continued with the Ladies showing their mettle with a win of one end with a monster 4 points.    With rain threatening we pushed on ‘til the final boule with overall scores of 8 to the Ladies and 15 for the Laddies.    A few laughs and a bit of chatter and we were all feeling the benefit of our get-together.    It was good to see you all.   We meet again in 14 days on the 28th March at 10.15 on the pitch behind the library.   I do think that if the number of potential players increases we will need to divide and some of us play on the adjacent grass.    It’s all good. 

In the meantime Brian and Ingrid will, hopefully, put some more weed killer down and then, if necessary, we’ll call a small working party to clear the more persistent of the weeds.

Ken.
