Weather interrupted play today but the Pistes were pristine thanks to Brogan.

We were honoured today with the presence of a famous, local athlete Dick Hooper who did us the honour of taking the photos of our presentation to Colm of the last Competition trophy of 2017.
We caught him mid-run but he obliged anyway.  Check out his exploits below:

Congrats to Colm on his follow-up victory in Competition D.

Some shots of our players on a very mild playday today.  Next week is the final week before the Christmas break.

Some views of St Anne's Park on the way home from Boules today:

Last day of Competition D for 2017.  Seventeen hardy souls braved the bitterly cold wind for an enjoyable morning's play.  A good number went to warm up in Olive's room afterwards....

As you can see from the table below Colm has retained the trophy with a tremendous best 6 score of 267 averaging 44.5 per session.  Some shooting.....Congratulations Colm and all his fellow players who helped him towards the magnificent total.

Nigel pipped Richie for second place by a solitary point!

Colm will have the trophy next week for re-presentation. We might present it before we play as Olive's Room may not accommodate a crowd afterwards depending on weather.

I only ranked the players who played the minimum of six play days.  Thanks to all for your enthusiastic play across the year.  Thanks to all who prepare the pistes each play day.

Tony hopes we can play the next two Wednesdays...6th and 13th December before the Christmas break.

Today was the first wash-out in a while...persistent rain meant that the hardy bodies who showed up went for a cuppa in Olive's Room.  The scoresheet remains the same with the last of  9 competition days still to be played.....

Week 8 of Competition D 2017 Results.  One more week left in this Competition.
Colm is the current holder....Remember it is the best 6 of  9 scores that count in the period.
All over 200 points highlighted below.
Nineteen players today on a beautiful morning. [Click on pictures below].
Great to hear Sean is improving all the while.  The mystery of Mike's missing 'Lucky Boule' was solved by Super Sleuth Tony and Mike is back playing with the 'Full Set'....phew!
