Bob Carter Centre 3, Bressingham Flyers 2 (53-46)

Weather - warm, dry then cooler.

Lindsay and I watched the triples then had to leave.  Liz/Mick/Pat led 8-1 but agonisingly lost out by one point in the end.  Darren and Dan's excellent 13-6 win in the pairs was in vain.  It was the same result as last season.  Scorecard shows Bressingham as the home team (error).

Card supplied by Darren.

Scorecard unavailable at present.  Next match is the Plate 2nd Round against Bob Carter Leisure at home.

Diss-Waveney 2, Bressingham Flyers 3 (agg 6-4)

Myself, Pat, Darren, Les, Cyril, Diane and Dan played in the return leg of this friendly match.  Some very close games.  It was Dan that provided a perfect shot at the end that won the match for us.  Strangely, only two of the Diss team were in the bar afterwards.  No scorecard.

Other news - Darren teamed up with Bob and James Urquart at the Nine Boules Triples at St. Faiths and finished in second place!  Les, Diane and Dan also played that day.

Norwich Diamonds 2, Bressingham Flyers 3

Weather - dry.  Fleeces were needed soon after the start.

Obviously home made - edited version.

The terrain was very difficult.  Pointing in within two foot was considered very good.  The match itself was a strange one.  One of our players didn't show - luckily Diane (our super-sub) was there to step in at the last moment for us.  I am still not quite sure how we won this match (much to talk about).  Good win this.

Next weeks match against Les Garnier has been postponed due to our opponents having players away.

Other news - Les,Liz and Mick finished with three wins from five in the last leg of the regional qualifiers - well done to them.

Yarmouth Bloaters 3, Bressingham Flyers 2

Weather - nice summers evening.

No points lost as it was only a friendly.

A very enjoyable match with Les notching up two wins.  One of the best terrains I have played on.  It's a shame I didn't get to play on the hilly bit.  Think I only messed up one end.  Superb food after the game.

Next match Thursday evening - Norwich Diamonds away.

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.
