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 .

RUTLAND PETANQUE LEAGUE.
Villagers Kerry Palfrey, Dave Ormshaw and myself all play for the White Horse Hunters in the Rutland petanque league. After many years playing in the premier division we dropped down into division one at the end of the 2008 season. The summer proved very difficult for the Hunters. Having to move to the new venue at Morcott after the start of the season,we lost our home advantage which meant that all but three matches had to be played on the opponent's pistes.
After a shaky start in 2009 we had a very good summer and won promotion back into the premier division. This coming season our main objective will be to stay up, but with the number of first class regional and national players joining the top clubs it's not going to be easy. It may be that we rename ourselves the "yo-yos". Hopefully playing on regular Friday and Sunday nights down "The Hut" will ensure that we gain the necessary skill to maintain our position and perhaps improve it . It won't be for the lack of trying .
