KO match goes to a decider

ASCL KO 1st round - Framsden 2, Bressingham 3

Weather - A lovely sunny day.  Their captain turned up late because of the confusion of clocks going over under sideways down.  I say split the difference and keep it that way forever!  There had to be a winner on the day so the match went to an extra game.  Strangely, all my games finished 13-7 (in our favour).

Dave/Harry won 13-7, Les/Mick lost 13-12
Dave/Les won 13-7, Diane/Liz lost 13-1
Dave/Mick won 13-7 (decider)

Thank you to our hospitable hosts who provided some nice grub afterwards.  Next up, Rumburgh at home next Sunday 6th April.

Pre-season friendly

Bressingham Flyers 2, Yarmouth Bloaters 3 (43-50)

Went to the wire this one.  A great effort from Cyril and Pat who came so close to winning the final game. Good wins for Darren, Liz and Mick in the triples and Les and Dan in the pairs.  Thank you to Peter Astle and his mob for making the long journey across.  There may be a return match later on in the season.

We play at Framsden on Sunday in the first round of the Suffolk Coastal KO Tournament.  Just watch out for the manhole covers people!

Darren/Luke lost 13-9, Dave/Daniel lost 13-10, Darren/Diane won 13-11, Les/Daniel won 13-1

That's me and Dan on the left.  You can just see a boule coming in from the extreme right.  Pic by Darren.

Dees & Ells 2, The Wallies 1


Thanks go to Darren, who picked up a trailer load of shingle and whacker plate the day before and Cyril, who has donated his gazebo to the club (sure to come in handy).
