Our former team mate from Czech joined us for a day and performed very well on the TPL team with two wins.
I will collect what I can from FB for those who do not use FB. Hopefully it will provide an interesting timeline of events and stories all on one page. "Sarah Jane Wright We are here! Well some of us, Claire and Christine r stuck in welly, fingers crossed they r on the flight tommorow! What a trip, plane, train, bus, walk and taxi all in 1 day. 5pm and ready 4 bed."
Bressingham Flyers 4, Buckaneers 1After a disappointing run of losses (in both the Norfolk & Suffolk leagues and KO matches) the team finally triumphed against a re-shaped Buckaneers side. However, the match wasn't free from incident (something to do with the circles again). I even had to give a verbal warning to one of my players for head movement whilst I was about to throw (sorry Pat). My gam

Summer Time Food and Market Vendors at Cadillac Square ParkCampus Martius Park and Cadillac Square Park will be having (starting June 10th) food vendors in some of the spaces at Cadillac Square Park during the week, and on Fridays, also have Market vendors. This is good news, lots of foot traffic, more players to watch and participate. Food... And I just heard from Mr. Gregory (Head of the De
Meadlands 3, Bressingham 1 (42-36)It rained all match as predicted but it didn't bother me too much as I was all kitted out.A bit of an oddity this one, as the match finished 2-2 (for a minute or so) until I noticed that we had only notched up 12 points (I was the last one off the piste). So the players had to return to finish the game for a second time (it took a few more ends) with Meadlands ed

Diss Vikings 3, Bressingham 2 (54-52)It was a fairly cold and windy evening (still wore shorts though). The terrain has had some shingle added since I last set foot on it and it played really well. It was encouraging to see Jordan putting in some good boules in the first triple. Cyril/Pat/Russ missed out by a single point in their threesome. On a brighter note, we won two of the pairs but it w
Candice was rolling by (on her scooter) when she thoughtfully stopped by our in-progress game to check it out. As we normally do, we bring the interested right into the game (after a couple of try-out throws). Candice was really good, and she called her mother over to watch as we played the first, then another game. True, we didn't win, but we held our own at 5 points - not too shabby when play

Bressingham 1, Les Garnier 4A disappointing result for the team on a glorious sunny evening. My triple were already on our second end when one of the players from the opposition (in the other game) refused to play using the official Obut circles. This caused a delay in both games. I resolved it by allowing the player to play on (drawing the circle instead of using one) as I deemed this to be mor

Today we were joined by Alix (sp?) who was brought to the piste by her friend, Alpha. Alix was brought into the game right away, as is our habit, and she played well after just a few throws. Unfortunately, she and Alpha jumped into my game where I was already down 10 points - so she had to wait for the 2nd game in order to make headway.13 Abu Maury Nick 2 Alpha Alix Jeff Time13(8) Nick
