On the boules pitch this morning 6 members turned up to play and we naturally divided into two teams of three being Ladies and Gents.
It was the latter which kicked of the first end but it was the Ladies who were on their mettle and won it with 4 points. The. gents retaliated on the 2nd end but still lost another 2 points to their opponents
End 3 and the Gents tried their best but again the Ladies scored another 3 and staying on a roll they scored 5 (yes,5) points on the final end and so exceeding the necessary 13 to win. Well done again Ladies. Jubilations and delight for them. There were several occasions during play when a Gent’s boule was all but nudging the Jack but as is often the case it’s the final boule that scatters the others and changes the end score.
There was time for a further quick game which had to be abandoned as a player had an appointment elsewhere and this time the Gents took solace with a paltry win of 4 - 2.
It’s back to battle in a fortnight (8th) on the pitch behind the library. Join us for an hour’s laid-back fun.
