With the weather reminding me of the story of “Winnie-the-Pooh and the Blustery Day” six of us met this morning in the shelter of the hedge that separates the pitch from the car park.   Luckily the sun continued to shine for most of the game. Teams A and B soon had play underway and A won the first end by one point which was then equalised by B.

Over the following 5 ends B gained a further 9 points, before A rallied over the subsequent 3 ends gaining 5 more points.    There were, certainly, several close calls and the advantages were swinging backward and forward quite quickly keeping tensions high.

Three more ends and the scores reached 7 to 12 in B’s favour with B team wresting that final point to become the winner and we finished with cheery goodbyes.

As usual, the next game will be in a fortnight on Monday 10th October at 10.15am. 

Ken.

 Bright sunshine greeted us for today’s game as we gathered on the pitch this am.   Quickly dividing in to two teams of five we were ready to start.

Team B kicked off and powered their way to winning the first end by 3 points.    Team A retaliated with 2 points on the next end which was equalled by Team B on the third set. 
Not despondent, Team A gave it their best boules and by the 9th end Team B was leading 11 - 9.

The next two ends brought the scores to a nail-biting 11 all and the game culminated on the following end by Team A grabbing those vital 2 points giving them the game.   

Modestly accepting congratulations we broke up having enjoyed a pleasant hour in great company. 

Why not join us next time we play on the 26th inst.   Anyone can play whether able-bodied or needing some mobility support.   All welcome.    Ken

 On this sad and sombre day I have been giving some thought to our scheduled game on Monday.   I feel that some of us may be looking for a little light relief and so decided to go ahead and I’ll be down on the pitch behind the library at 10.15 as usual and anyone wishing to do so, please join me.       Ken
