We’re due on the boules pitch again on Monday (19th) so hope to see many of you there at 10.15am behind the library.    Open to all to give it a try.

As an aside, may I say thank you to all those who were able to respond to my plea for help to set up and put away tables at the last meeting.    It was a great help.    If you can continue to do so for future meetings it would be most welcome.

A cool morning, just right for a game of boules and seven of us thought so too.   A few minutes late in starting as players straggled in.   

There were just a couple of us of the masculine gender so we decided on mixed teams - A and B.     A team started the first end but with so many close calls only managed one point.  Team B then equalised and then won 3 more ends by one point each.   By the end of game 6 the score was 2 - 4 in B’s favour.

A team bounced back with a couple of 2s before B crept ahead in a whole series of single points and then a 2 but by the 18th end the As had taken the lead by one point, being 12 - 11, so all to play for.

But it was B team that triumphed by next scoring that all important 2 points making them today’s worthy winners.      One of the longest games we’ve  played. 

Low scoring on each individual end as opponent’s  boules landed so close to each other so many times causing much measuring throughout.     Skill or luck? You decide. 

More fun to be had in two weeks time (19th) so why not join us then?
