Magnificent comeback in the triples sets up win

NCPA Winter League Div 2 - Oddballs 3, G2 0

The season kicked off with an excellent win for Oddballs consisting of Pat, Cyril, Mike, Jenny and myself.

In the triples, the game was turned upside down when Cyril, shot one of his opponents boule to set up a 5 for the home side (they were trailing 11-0 at the time).   Near the end, G2 had an opportunity to steal the match themselves but their chance came and went.  Pat came to life in the latter stages and accurately pointed in complete the comeback.

Good wins also for Cyril and Mike in the pairs and Dave in the singles gave Oddballs all three points (1 point gained for every game won).

Thank you to all that turned up to watch.

Next time  - our other team Bloomers (not Bloaters!) are away at G2 while Oddballs entertain The Hunted from Strumpshaw.

Two things

Post season friendly - Yarmouth Bloaters 5, Bressingham Flyers 0

This match was the return leg of the pre season friendly which we lost 3-2.  I have no details of individual scores as I wasn't there.

Other news - Luke is now 10 and there is a cake (made by mum and co.) to prove it.  Enough there for the whole team!

Post season stuff

Recent news - Six of us attended a petanque event on Sunday, in aid of a youth project.  This was held at the New Eccles Hall School and played out on an odd shaped area of gravel, sloping this way and that.

Les and Diane finished third after a play off, winning 5 out of 6 games in total.  Liz and Mick won 3 from 5 while bloggers Dave and Lindsay won 2 from 4 (and one bye due to an odd number of teams).

We wish Les well after his shoulder operation yesterday.  Hope to see him playing again early in the new year.

Old news - Bressingham were narrowly beaten 3-2 by Crown Inn Snape in the last 16 of the Suffolk Coastal League play-offs.  The team that day was Russ, Pat, Liz and Mick.  Good effort by all.
