SONDERS ROCKINGHAM APRIL 2010.

On Tuesday 13th April 2010 The Owls visited the Sonders Arms at Rockingham to play a friendly match against Iris Scullions newly reformed petanque team. It was a closely fought match with both teams introducing novice players.The new surface on the piste was quite difficult for the newcommers, but as the game progressed they began to master it,and played some very creditable boule. The Sonders won 3-1 points Owls 44.Sonders 43. Afters the games the landlord Leigh Maund provided a very nice supper for the teams, a perfect way to end the evening especially with excellent pint of real ale.

CROWN TINWELL FRIENDLY APRIL 2010.

On Tuesday 6th April 2010 the village petanque players travelled to Tinwell to play a friendly match against a very good Rutland Div. 1 team. I think Christian Grossel and his merry men are a hot tip this season to win division one and gain promotion to the premier league. After some hard fought legs we went down 3--1 34 points for,39 against. Its always a pleasure to play against a happy team that play the game just for the fun of it even though they are very professional in their approach. After the match we were treated to a ham egg and chips supper,a really good night out . Thanks to all those taking part and to the landlord of the pub for the evening .
