Aldeburgh made their first appearance of the season on Sunday May 3rd in the Deben Division of the 2009 Suffolk Coastal League, by welcoming league newcomers Pettistree Greyhound to the 'Moot Hall Arena'.
In excellent playing conditions, the Aldeburgh team consisted of the 'usual 4' of Jimmy, Tina, Simon & Lewis with new signings Michael and Lynn unavailable for this match. The team was however bolstered by the addition of Caron, an existing Aldeburgh member but making her first league appearance.
The team split with the usual family pairings and both the Robinsons and the Fletchers recorded 13-4 victories putting the side 2-0 up at half-time and ensuring at least a draw. The important decision of how to divide the pairs for the second half fell to skipper Jimmy and Simon paired off with Caron whilst Jimmy doubled up with the teams youngest member Lewis.
With a mixture of good pointing and shooting both pairs earnt 13-4 and 13-6 wins to complete a 4-0 win over the enthusiastic visitors. Whilst this may have been Pettistrees first ever match, they can look forward to a season where they will definitely go on from here and perhaps with their own special 'home advantage' may spring a surprise or two.
For Aldeburgh, next up is an away trip to Playford in 3 weeks time to face our old friends Suivre Les Boules who will prove to be difficult opponents once again on their home piste.
