Nine boules triple

Weather - Fairly warm, rain at first.

Five of us went along to play in the nine boules triples at St. Faiths on the Saturday just gone.  Two wins out of four for both myself/Darren/Luke and Les/Diane/Enzo DePrata (from Norwich Reds) so a good day all round.

Other news - Norfolk beat Suffolk (played at Bury) 25 wins to 15 with one of our team members Les (plus Enzo and John Fisher) winning a magnificent four from five.  The match was shortened due to heavy rain.

Flyers bounce back

NCPA Div 3 Bob Carter Sports 2, Bressingham Flyers 3 (49-54)

Weather - some cloud but generally a nice evening (T shirts/sweatshirts needed only).

A good win especially after last weeks disappointing loss.  In our triples, Peter Hardy won the game for the opposition with a brilliant spot carreau to give them the three points they needed.  Dan and I lost both games but we needn't have worried as the others did the business to move us up into second place.  I ended up with the oppositions scorecard in error (so not my handwriting).

Other results that I know of...
Bob Carter Leisure 4, Diss Vikings 1
Diss Duval 2, Buckaneers 3
S.F. Wallabies 1, Bob Carter Centre 4

Winning run ends with a bump

NCPA Div 3 - Bressingham Flyers 1, Norwich Stars 4 (51-52)

Weather - cool but pleasant evening.

Recent form suggested this would be a fifth straight win for Flyers but Stars performed really well and came away with a deserved victory (only their second of the season).

We play second placed Bob Carter Sports next, up at Drayton.

Bressingham a step closer

ASCL Mosaic Division - Bressingham 3, Walberswick 1

Weather - cool, dry, windy.  Good win - sitting pretty at the top of our geographic division at the moment with 4 wins and 2 draws with four matches remaining.  The top two teams will progress to a KO stage.

Liz/Mick won 13-9, Dave/Les won 13-3
Pat/Russ won 13-4, Darren/Luke lost 13-9

Flying the flag

NCPA Div 3 - Buckaneers 2, Bressingham Flyers 3 (50-50)

Weather - lovely evening, no wind.

A fourth straight win for us (scores to follow).  A bit of a mixed bag in individual performances though, Darren the only one showing any signs of consistency.  We lost a six in our triples (Dave/Darren/Les) but managed to get to 13 points first.  Liz and Mick didn't get a look in, in their game while Cyril/Russ came back from 8-1 down to win theirs.  With the match finely balanced at 2-2, Darren/Les produced the win of the night defeating Richard and Roz 13-4.

After the game, we were treated to a pasta twists meal.  Thank you to the Morley Buck new owners and Buckaneers captain Margaret who remembered I was a veggie.

Next match is at home against Norwich Stars (same night as England/Uruguay, hey ho).

Provisional triumph at the Low House

ASCL Mosaic Division - Laxfield A 1, Bressingham 3

It has been rumoured that we beat Laxfield A on Sunday which I am very pleased about, as this was potentially a banana skin of a fixture.  Just need Russ our captain to confirm it (with scores).

From what Les tells me, Liz/Mick won both their games and Les/Russ won one each.  Well done to all those involved.

Sky high Flyers

NCPA Division 3 - Bressingham Flyers 5, Bob Carter Leisure 0 (65-29)

Weather - nice evening.

Without doubt, our best team performance this season (possibly ever!).  We were scoring four, fives and sixes to finish off games, quite unusual.  It was also the quickest match of the campaign.  We have now moved up to third (so everyone keeps telling me) above Diss Duval, who unexpectedly lost 4-1 at whites on the same night. We just now need to improve our away form - Buckaneers next.

Messy score card

Diane hasn't been well of late so that win is for her.

Old news - we had four players representing us at St. Faiths last Sunday.  Dave and Mick came back well to win three games from five and Les and Dan chalked up one win and some close losses.  The playing surface was like concrete in places and I messed up big time in some early plays (sorry Mick).

A Cock 'n' Boules story

ASCL Shield KO 2nd Round - Bressingham 3, Cock 'n' Boule I 1

Good win, now through to the quarters against either Thorpeness or Gt. Finborough.

Pat/Les lost 13-12 (they gave five away on the last end... tut tut), Dave/Mick won 13-2
Dave/Pat won 13-6, Les/Mick won 13-1
