Not being able to play our game of boules a fortnight ago due to pouring rain we were pleased to see a drier, though overcast, morning today.      5 of us appeared on the pitch so teams were made up of three ladies and 2 laddies with the latter having 3 boules each against the ladies’ two.  

Ladies pitched first and won the first two ends with a 2 and a 1 but the Laddies retaliated with two 2s.   Scoring continued relatively evenly and by the end of 9 ends we were 7 points each.     

By this time we were playing in a light drizzle so decided to play just one more end to decide the winner.    The Laddies gained the winning one point on the very last boule after a nail-biting end.   

So that’s it until 2025.   Thanks to all who have turned up to play when able.    We’ve had some very happy mornings.     It’s such a simple game played to our own rules so whether two or twelve players gather on the day we can accommodate them.    Give it a try when we restart next year.  

If the weather looks promising during November we may call a last minute game so keep a look out in your emails.    

Ken.
