With a few enforced team changes due to our captain having the slight distraction of becoming Mayor of Aldeburgh, the club visited the piste at Melton for the first time this season, to play the host club, Ye Olde Coach & Horses.
The team started off with wins in both of the opening games to open up a 2-0 lead early on. The piste gives the impression that it is reasonably level but once playing on it, it became apparent that the slight slope to the bottom corner certainly makes the boule roll further than you expect. However to counter-act this, a high lob then makes your boule stop dead especially around the middle section of the piste.
Once the second set of pairings were under way, some good pointing by Aldeburgh saw the visiting team complete the job and register a 4-0 away day triumph.
On another day, the piste could quite easily make the match score somewhat different and Aldeburgh are due to visit Melton again in 2 weeks time.
