What a lovely bright sunny day greeted us this morning for the start of the new season for playing boules.    It certainly brought out 9 members determined to enjoy themselves and make the most of it as we divided ourselves into two teams as usual, Ladies and Laddies.

Ingrid delivered the first boule of the year and placed it almost on top of the cochon (jack) which immediately put us all on our mettle to try harder but the first end finished with the Ladies taking one point to gain the initial lead.

The next 3 ends were all won by a single point and then the Laddies gained 2 points which  made us 6 points apiece.

The 6th end was smashed by the Ladies with a fantastic score of 5 carefully picked out of a cluster of boules centred on the target.    The next 3 ends gained the Laddies 2 points plus one to their opponents before the Ladies followed up with a 3 and a 1 completing the magical 13 points to snatch the game.

Well done and congratulations Ladies.  A good start to our playing year.      We’ll meet again in a fortnight (19th).  Same place but a little earlier, maybe, at the request of some.  I’ll confirm it in my reminder nearer the time.    Do come and join us.
