Luke's certificate

Luke, our youngest member by miles, sent this to me way back (apologies for the delay).  Luke will be playing for us again this season during school breaks.  League matches start tonight but due to an odd number of teams in divisions 2 & 3, Bressingham Flyers get the night off.

Bressingham Flyers 0, Wanderers SF Dolphins 5

First was a friendly against Diss Waveney, the second a KO Shield 1st round match against 1st division opposition.  Both defeats I'm afraid.  We will have another chance in the KO Plate.

ASCL Brandeston 2, Bressingham 2

Honours even in our first group match of 2015.  Our hosts laid on plenty of tasty food and hot drinks.  Good weather too.  Diane and Mel came along to support.

Wins for Pat/Russ, Les/Russ (13-4).  Losses for Dave/Les, Dave/Pat.

Bloomers finish in style

Bloomers 3, The Hunters 0 (39-23)

A terrific way to finish the winter league season.  Darren (who supplied the scorecard) came back from a 10-2 deficit in the singles to defeat Paul Goodwin.  Good wins also (no pun intended) in the other two games.  Bloomers finish one point ahead of Oddballs (the division was pretty tight in the end).

Just what the doctor ordered

Winter League Divison 2

Oddballs 3, The Hunters 0 (39-30)

Pat/Cyril/Jenny won 13-11, Pat/Jenny won 13-11, Cyril won 13-8

An excellent win against the division leaders, on a glorious sunny day.  I was unwell but stayed to watch the triples team pull back from 10-3 down to win 13-11.  I was very surprised when Pat emailed me the result.
A fine way to finish the season.


The Hunted 2, Bloomers 1

Triples was won but no other info available


Adnams Suffolk Coastal League Cup 1st Round (played Saturday).

Stowmarket Oddboules 4, Bressingham 0

Defeats were 13-8, the rest 13-5 apparently.  Team was Darren/Les/Mick/Liz although I heard a rumour that Darren did not play?

More results (updated)

Oddballs 1, Bob Carter Leisure 2 (played Saturday 28th February)

It was a drizzly sort of day with the visitors winning both triples and pairs.  The singles match was a bit scrappy but the luck was on my side.  Phil (my opponent) realised I hadn't put my score up on a previous end, which was very sporting of him.

We play our last winter league match next Sunday at home against The Hunters.  At the same time, Bloomers are away at The Hunted (spot the difference).


The Hunted 1, Oddballs 2 (played Saturday 21st February)

Mike /Jenny were leading 7-2 in the pairs when the game had to be stopped.  The game was awarded to Oddballs.  Pat won her singles match (think that's three wins from four for her).


Oddballs 0, Bloomers 3 (played Sunday 22nd February )

Good atmosphere and a sunny but cold morning -  the car park was full (lots of football) with plenty of mud for cars to get stuck in (it was like Wacky Races).

Myself, Pat and Cyril failed to score a point in the triples.  I messed up on the second end which led to a five for Russ' team.  We didn't recover after that.  Both pairs and singles went to 11.  Shame to come away with no points but at least one half of Bressingham won (just the wrong half).  Les played a brilliant shot at the end of my match with him to win it.  Congratulations also to Russ, Darren, Liz and Mick on their victory.  Was nice to see Diane out and about again as she has not been well.
