147th Post

Nineteen players today on a bright, but chilly, morning.  Plenty of interest from passing pedestrians, young and old, in the Easter holiday period.

We hope our missing players are in a position to rejoin us soon.  Welcome back to John Campbell today.

Played 6 on Piste 1; 4 on Piste 2; 5 on Piste 3 and 4 on Piste 4.

Competition hotting up though Shay still holds a lead.

[Any resemblance to our Boules situation is purely fictional....]

145th Post

On a day when only mad dogs and Oirishpersons would venture to play Boules - Mike, Brogan, Kitty and Eileen made it to Olive's Room where they played 'fantasy boules' and regaled each other with 'feats of yore' where 'backspin' and 'sidespin' were used to dislodge the opponent and unhinge the proponent.  What a game!

The reality was the conditions were miserable and the coffee comforting....so, guess which won out!

In the absence of 'real' competition have a gander at what's happening in the Irish Petanque scene in the week leading up to St. Patrick's Day.  Highlight and click on the links below:

New Club Gear.  Take your pick!!!!!!!!

144th Post

Fifteen players today.  Most of the snow that coated St. Anne's Park last Wednesday had thawed and play was possible on all pistes.
Shay is in pole position at this stage but the 'best 6' rule will apply at the end of 9 date competition period.....so still all to play for.  Kitty and Eileen in second and third respectively.

The 'Beast' and 'Emma' relented so we weren't reduced to 'snow-play'.
