Congratulations to Richard on his maiden victory having pipped Mike by a mere 7 points.

Remember we took the best 6 scores of 8 play days and dropped the worst 2 scores
[ highlighted in green ].













All next year's competitions will be 9 weeks duration  and we'll take the best 6 again.













The next 4 Wednesdays [weather permitting] will be free play.  We will present the Perpetual Trophy
on Dec. 14th after boules in Olive's Room.  We will also re-present Shay with the original trophy, to keep, in recognition of his achievement in winning the first three competitions.

Hi All.  Apologies for the delay with last weeks results.

At present Mike is ahead followed closely by Richard with Maeve and Tony neck and neck for 3rd place.

Next Wed. is the final day's play in this competition.  All to play for....Good Luck.

We wish Shay [our pre-eminent player] a speedy recovery and since he has won our first three competitions he will retain the original trophy.

From this competition onwards we will play competition for the recently organised Perpetual trophy.

We welcomed Yvonne last week who have played for numerous years with the Tues / Fri. group.

Enjoy the unusual, little video below of St Anne's last Wed.......more may follow....courtesy of Dave
