Bressingham Flyers

It's official... we will be entering the Norfolk & Norwich Pétanque League for the 2013 season.  Still a few odds and ends to tie up but we'll get there.  Team name was decided by a special vote, Flyers pipping Buzzards by one point with Bears and Scorpions just behind.

Les at the ockey.

Lindsay, boules and snow - a lethal mix.

Messy boules

Three of us played on the snowy terrain on Saturday.  It was fun for a while until our hands and feet got cold and wet.  Our match on Sunday against Kettleburgh was called off and has been rescheduled for February 10th.

Result in...

Bressingham 6, Framlingham 0

It was cold and misty but there was no wind to get on our nerves.  There were a few close games as usual with some interesting, do or die last ends (laughter was permitted).

Spot the boule in flight

This is a cochonnet

Darren/Pat won 11-2, Lindsay/Luke won 8-6, Dave/Lindsay won 9-3, Pat/Les won 5-3, Luke/Dave won 11-6, Darren/Les won 8-6.  Diane was our lone supporter and also helped out at the end.

Thanks to Derek, Iris, Denise, Steve and Jane for making the trip over.  Our last match will be in two weeks time over at Kettleburgh.

Pétanque + rain = fun

Four of us braved the persistent rain on Saturday, to play a game of pétanque.  Unusually, we played first to 13 points... took almost an hour.  Darren and Les beat myself and Luke, 13-11... an enjoyable game in an odd sort of way.  There were a few puddles but no floating coches.

Other news... we have also had permission from the chairman of the village hall, to use some old aluminium poles (once used for a marquee), which Darren hopes to splice together for the floodlighting.

Xmas joy to all.

Dave (and Lindsay).

Fair Play Winter League - result (limited ends)

Bressingham 6, Kettleburgh 0

The scorecard looked a right mess, as I had to juggle people around to fit certain players requirements but luckily it all turned out well in the end.  There were a couple of very close games and our opponents had one or two key players missing, even so, a very good result for us.

Partly frozen piste didn't stop play

Les/Russ won 7-4, Pat/Lindsay won 12-5, Darren/Luke won 10-7, Dave/Russ won 10-9, Darren/Les won 8-7, Dave/Luke won 10-1.

Thanks to Richard, Deborah, James and Geoff for making the trip down... next match in January sometime.
