A spitty-spotty morning today so who will turn up to play?    Six enthusiastic players, that’s who.   

 So, two teams of three and the first to pitch was called Team A (naturally) who took the first end by one point.    Team B stepped up to the mark and scored an equaliser followed by a further 1 on the next. 

 After ten ends we were even with 7 points each, so all to play for.  The final four ends gave the first two to Team B scoring 2 twice but Team A came roaring through with two fantastic scores of 3 winning the game by 13 - 11.      Well done!

An enjoyable hour with friends to start our week with many laughs included as always and mostly at ourselves.  Come and join us if you can on Bank Holiday Monday (27th) at 10.15am on the pitch behind the library.

 Bright day but quite windy when we met yesterday but we were reasonably sheltered between the back of the library and the car park hedge.    Decided to have mixed teams this time so called ourselves A and B.

As early as the third boule being pitched there was a very close call and some tricky measurements had to be employed to determine whose boule was the closer to the cochon (jack).  Team B scored a 2 and a 3 before Team A managed to gain their first 2 but we reached the 10th end all square with 9 points apiece.  The final two ends were taken by Team A with a 3 and a 1 respectively which scored them the magic winning total of 13.        Well done!

The game took a little longer than usual - just over the hour - probably because a lot more measuring was involved and needed.  Some very exciting moments at times. 

Join us for more fun on Monday week (13th) at 10.15am in the same spot for some more oohs and aahs.
