(Not) Match of the Day

NCPA Division 3 - S. F. Wanderers 2, Bressingham Flyers 3 (57-56)

Weather - dry evening, cool.

It was a full terrain with three matches on the go at once.  We played on the dimly lit area near the fence (same for both teams).  David from the opposition used a torch when measuring.  The pistes played erratically (no excuses) so we were happy to be tied at 1-1 after the triples.  Two wins in the pairs gave us the points to keep us right up there.  Wallabies are a nice bunch.

No match next week.

Weird weekend stuff

Kath Watts Charity Pairs Competition

Saturday - four of us from Bressingham were there.  Les and I started well with two wins (26-6 aggregate) but then some sort of space-time continuum caused two back to back 13-0 losses (ridiculous, unheard of, unprecedented)!  We'll get over it.  Liz and Mick meanwhile plodded along nicely winning three out of four games.  A fair bit of money was raised for the cause.

ASCL Mosaic Division

Sunday - sounds like the team lost 3-1 against Carleton Colville in the penultimate group stage match.  Good to see Harry (aged 9) get a game.  Les and Diane cheered from the sidelines.

Tight at the top

Weather - turned out to be a nice evening.  Attendance - 19,000

NCPA Division 3 - Bressingham Flyers 3, Diss Vikings 2 (44-46)

Les passed a late fitness test.  After two fine wins in the triples came two heavy losses in the pairs.  So for the second week running, it was left for Liz and Mick to save the day with a hard earned victory in their game.

So top five looks something like this (no idea what that strange white block is above)...

Coastal update

ASCL Mosaic Division - Bressingham 4, Laxfield Ladies 0

Wasn't at the match but was told the result.  Individual game scores are still a bit sketchy but it looks like it was fairly plain sailing apart from Pat and Jenny's game that finished 13-12.  Mike, Liz, Mick were the other victors so well done to them. This win almost certainly secures our place in the qualifying stages even with two matches left to play.

Flyers stay in touch

Weather - dry, nice evening amidst the low flying aircraft

NCPA Divison 3 - Bob Carter Leisure 2, Bressingham Flyers 3 (45-60)

Happy with the victory.  Again, good wins in both the triples with Mike playing particularly well.  Liz and Mick provided our only win in the pairs but that was enough to give us the points.

On the same night on the same ground, Bob Carter Sports beat bottom club Norwich Stars 4-1 to stay in second place with Bressingham just behind (pending the Buckaneers/Norwich White result).

Out of plate

NCPA KO Plate Q/F - Bressingham Flyers 2, Buckaneers 3 (41-56)

Weather - nice to begin with then a shower, cool, then fine again.  Attendance 22 (includes players).

Excellent wins in both triples set us up nicely.  However, our opponents fought back well in the pairs to level. The remaining game under the lights, was a tense, long and drawn out affair (but never boring) which finally went the way of Buckaneers, securing them a place in the semi-final.

Nice effect from the rain shower

Sky, our new dog mascot behaved impeccably throughout.
