Bressingham Flyers 4, BC Sports 1


Weather - Quite a nice evening but floodlights still needed near the end.  Attendance - 3.

Parity in the triples led to an interesting round in the pairs.  It was pretty even for a some time in all the games when suddenly Pat/Darren sprinted ahead to clinch victory exactly the same time as Les/Luke won theirs. Soon after, Liz/Mick made it 4-1 with some accurate pointing just when it was needed.  A really good effort all round.  Afterwards, Pete Hardy commended Luke (10) on his play and even handed out some advice.


Other news - Les teamed up with Lou (Norwich Diamonds) and Ian (Sprowston Harriers) in the Norfolk v Suffolk match on Sunday.  They helped Norfolk to a 27-21 victory with two wins against some very experienced players.

ASCL - Bressingham 1, Gt. Finborough 3


Weather - turned out nice.  Attendance 2 (and a puppy).

Russ and Pat were the only winners for us on the night.  They also had a scenario where they had to play alternately (like bowls) because of the very odd equidistant ruling.  It is a complicated rule that confuses the hell out of everybody (especially new players).  It should be, if you can't beat your opponents boule, the same team should play again until they do so - simple, none of this alternating bowls stuff.


Wanderers SF Wombats 3, Bressingham Flyers 2

Weather - nice evening

You either win or lose in this league - no draws or bonus points as in cricket or rugby.  The overall points tally is just a multiple of the wins column.  So awarding say, 57½ points for a win would make no difference.  Who is in favour of 3 points for a win and 1 for a 3-2 loss (bonus point)?  I have had mixed reviews so far.  Please leave a comment.

ASCL - Bressingham 3, Crettingham Bell 1


A much welcomed win - so 3 points from a possible 6 so far.

Bressingham 2, The Mutton 3


Weather - rain during first half of matches and not very warm either.  Attendance - 4

Fine wins for Russ/Mike/Jenny in the triples and Mike/Jenny again in the pairs set up a thrilling decider in which Les/Diane (who were called in at the last moment) were finally overcome 13-10.  Good effort all round though.

Thank you to those that came to support and help afterwards with teas and coffees.  Also, we all wish Cyril a speedy recovery after he was admitted to hospital yesterday (now recovering but will unable to play for a while).


Scorecard got slightly wet with graffiti over it.

Gauloises 4, Bressingham Flyers 1


Weather - no wind, dry but on the cold side.


Some success in the triples (one win, one near miss), but we were blown to bits in the pairs.  Our game finished abruptly (Mike and I) when our opponents pointed in for an easy SIX (all of their boules were within six inches of the jack)!

No match next week.

Other News - Les, Mick and Liz represented Bressingham in the first APA Regional Qualifier at the Bob Carter Centre.  They came up against some sharp opposition and lost five from five, however two of their games were very close.
