248th Post

Bbbbrrrrrhhhh.......What a cool morning!  Beautifully bright but the sun didn't shine on us!  Following the very heavy rain recently all the pistes had mud washed onto them but Piste 1 had too much muck to play on successfully.

However, the thirteen players, split into 2 x 4 and 1 x 5, refused to be frozen and managed to play for the two hours before thawing out in the sunshine, over coffee, outside Olive's Room.

We continue to offer our thoughts to those players whose health situation prevents them from playing at present.  Not forgotten but we hope you enjoy the blog and can return to play in the near future.

Shay and Nigel were on fire scoring the maximum 52 this morning.  Both played brilliantly and were not flattered by their victory margin over Tom and Eileen.

Tony and Mike's 39 was the next best score.  Shay has set a wonderful target already after just five games.
