Flyers back on track

Diss Duval 1, Bressingham Flyers 4  (43-59)

The date on the scorecard should read 27/6!  The triple of Dave, Jordan and Steven fought back from 11-4 down to win 13-12.  A fine display by all in the pairs.  The Diss terrain is really nice to play on.

This result consolidates our third place (no league matches next week).

Mini update

I have been a bit lazy recently so no updates for a while (people have been complaining :)).  Played at St. Faiths today in the Nine Boules Triples but more on that later.

Two Thursdays ago, Graham Beales from Gauloises invited a couple of us over to play for his team against Buckaneers in a friendly at the Morley Buck.  It was a bit of a grey evening (no sun) but was still an enjoyed by all.  Graham, Darren and myself won both of our games (one went to 13-12) but I'm not sure of the final score (it was either 3-1 or 2-2).  Some nice food laid on afterwards by the landlord so thank you to him and to Graham for organising it.

Flyers lose ground

Bressingham Flyers 2, SF Wanderers Wallabies 3 (47-48)

Not much to say except Wallabies thoroughly deserved their win.  I am mystified why this team are at the foot of the table.  I thought Jane Pridham (ex Norwich Whites) played particularly well early on.

It is always very difficult to win the match after losing both triples (only happened to me once when playing for Diss Sportif).  We are now halfway through the season already... no match next week.

Bend it like Darren

NCPA Division 3

SF Wanderers Wildcats 1, Bressingham Flyers 4 (Agg 46-62)

An excellent win that moves us up into third place.  It was all square after the triples and a slight change around in the pairings proved successful.  By the way, I always make out the scorecard 'who plays with who' before I see my opponents card.  I think this is how it is meant to be done.

Steven and Jordan almost let a big lead slip but Jordan saved his best boules till last.  Les and myself played a fairly high scoring game (lots of threes) but held firm.  The last pairing of Darren and Russ finished off in style, with Russ pointing in a good boule first.  No one could beat it, although the opponents had done their best to surround it.  But, within a flash, Darren used some side spin swervery (no such word) to score another three points to win the game and improve our goal difference :).

Next match - home to Wallabies (another St. Faiths team) who I think lost 3-2 to Diss Duval the same night/venue.  We also have to venture out this way again soon, as we are due to play SF Wanderers Dolphins from the 1st division in the Plate 1st round.  

First win in ASCL

Bressingham 4, Yaxley Cherry Tree 0

Same score as last year.  Yaxley had a couple of newbies in their team.  Harry (7) played in his first competitive match with his dad and performed admirably.  Pat and Jenny fought back from a 7-1 deficit.

Pat/Jenny won 13-8, Russ/Harry won 13-6, Dave/Jenny won 13-1, Pat/Russ won  13-2.

Nice to see Nikki, Charlie, Geoff, Bob and Rose, again.  League tables here...       https://sites.google.com/site/scparesults/home

Late result...

NCPA Division 3

Norwich White 3, Bressingham Flyers 2

The terrain was a dry as a bone with very little shingle, so pointing proved difficult.  Steven and Jordan came away with two wins.  The scorecard is missing some names and Russ couldn't make it along in the end.

Not a bad start... three wins from six matches.  Next up is Wildcats up at St. Faiths.
