Bitterly cold morning but eight players managed to play.  Competition will start next Wednesday - weather permitting.

Unexpectedly, Saint Cyprien resort had a stall at the recent Holiday Show in the RDS.  Besides some French camp sites they were almost the sole French exhibitor at the event.  They are responding to the influx of Irish visitors, via the Aer Lingus flight into Perpignan, in the summer.  They are also acutely aware of the potential loss of customers from the U.K. in the event of a 'No Deal Brexit'.  Hopefully, our impending visit will be a success and they expressed delight with our proposed trip
 [ not unexpectedly! ].

Seven players braved the crisp, cool morning to play a 2 v 2 and 3 singles.  All enjoyed and especially the coffee afterwards.  Competition restarts next Wednesday. [Photos courtesy of Eileen]

Just a flick of the wrist......from the corner boy!

If it pleases you, M'Lord...can I do you the honour.!

Could that be mine beside the Jack???

I hope she didn't notice the extra boule.....

What a cluster......was it photo-shopped???

A non-competition day. Sixteen players on a crisp, cold morning to start the 2019 season.
We presented Richie with the trophy for the last Competition 'D' of 2018 which finished last week.
The previous winner Colm presented the trophy on behalf of the Wednesday Boules Group.

We were well wrapped up for the cool shade but the keen play warmed us up.

We had 'canine company' afterwards at Olives Room!!

Next week is 'Free Play' before the 2019 Competition 'A' starts on Wed. 30th.

We have eight players signed-up for the 'Boules Holiday' this June in France.

Welcome to 2019.  Fourteen played today in crisp, dry conditions.  We played the last session of Competition 'D' 2018 which was postponed because of the rain in December last.
Richie, who played all nine games, won the session with a best of six total of 237 after his weakest three scores were deducted.  Nigel was in second place and Shay in third.  See the table below:

Congratulations to Richie 

on his fourth competition win since the start of competition.  The next two weeks are 'Free Play' but we will present Richie with his trophy.
