Scores - Explorer Division

Bressingham 1, Cotton 3

Our first defeat.  Josh did very well, considering he had only played the game once before (he goes back to Uni soon).  I was substandard as usual.  Also, no one brought a camera so no pictures.  It was nice to meet up with Steven again.

Dave/Lindsay won 13-11, Steven/Josh lost 13-9, Steven/Jordan lost 13-3, Dave/Josh lost 13-6.

Ring of success

After reading that someone had made a pétanque circle from an Ikea shower mat, I thought I'd have a go at my own.  I couldn't find any rubber mats cheap enough, so I used 6mm thick (double corrugated) cardboard instead.  Lindsay suggested I use gaffa tape to protect the ring from the rain and make it stand out.  Here's the result...

It works fine, doesn't blow away in the wind and can be folded.  I might make more of these, using different colours and designs.

Nice to meet up again with one of the teams Lindsay and I played for last season.  The weather was perfect and the result went our way.  Luckily for us, Steve and Charlie were missing from the Yaxley line-up.


Dave/Jordan won 13-4, Lindsay/Adam won 13-5, Lindsay/Jordan won 13-2, Dave/Adam won 13-11.
