FRIENDLY MATCH V SONDERS.

The return game against Sondes Rockingham was played on Tuesday the 28th September 2010 on the match piste at Little Oakley, it was a perfect Autumn evening for playing petanque warm and dry with no wind. Oakley got of to a good start and home advantage helped us to quickly win the first two legs, after the change over the sondes pointers got to grips with the terain and the last legs were very evenly fought, nip and tuck all the way, with the Oakley team eventually winning the match 3-1 49 points for 28 against. Two new players for the Oakley club Alan Bright and Paul Rowlett made their debut for the team with very creditable performances. After the match we all got together for supper, many thanks to Diane for the Catering, and to jill who only came along to watch the game and ended up helping serve and cleaning up afterwards. The club will try to arrange home and away friendlies with Iris Scullion's Sondes team in 2011.
