Action packed weekend (weather great)

I teamed up with Les Pridham (not pre-arranged) at the Norman Guest Memorial Pairs at the Cottage on Saturday.  We'd never played together before although he had beaten me on several occasions before (twice at the coast).  Our first match was against Russ and his son Harry (8), both from the Bressingham club and played on the specially built terrain dedicated to Norman.  The day went on and somehow we ended with four wins from four and finished in first place!  Les is definitely a better player than I had first thought.  Anyway we were chuffed with the win (pic to follow maybe).

Bressingham 1, Meadlands 3

Sunday, the Bressingham team entertained Meadlands in the Suffolk Coastal League.  Our opponents had only three players (one pulled out at the last minute) so had to forfeit one game.  As we had seven players on our team I opted not to play.  This gave a chance for Luke and Harry (both 8) to get some match practice.  Mike also played his first game (with his new boules).  Others included Jenny and regulars Pat and Darren. Unfortunately for us, Meadlands (winners of the competition outright last two seasons) were too strong and the team went down 0, 4 and 6.
