Almost a full game

Not a promising start to the weather today as we met up for our latest two-weekly game of petanque.

Dividing into 2 teams of four the ladies kicked off (not literally) the first end which they won very, very closely by one point - about the width of an ice cream wafer. 

Nonplussed, the gents fought back and evened up the score on the next end.  The ladies came back with another point followed by 2, and then 3 points for the gents in retaliation. 

Over the following four ends the ladies scored 7 points and the gents 2, when a drizzle of rain caused us to call it a day.  A quick look at the scores to that point I calculated we were on 9 each so a good place to stop but having just totalled again I see that the gents only scored 8.    So we’ll done, ladies.    It’s a good job we’re all friends   

So, come and join friends when next we play in two Mondays time.    Ken
