Bealings hoodoo strikes again!!

It was always going to be a tight match on the now well-bedded in piste at the Lord Belstead Playing Field at bealings.

Last year we lost 3-1 in both matches against The Exiles and this proved to be the difference in us not making last years play-offs. Surely things couldn't go the same way again.........

Lewis and Simon, fresh from their international tournament in Belgium over the weekend, managed to pull away from their opponents and take the first game 13-5, however Jimmy and Tina in the meantime had lost by the same scoreline.

So 1-1 at half-time and another tough decision for captain Jimmy to make regarding his next sets of pairings. In the end he stuck with the established pairings of Simon & Tina and Jimmy & Lewis. Meanwhile The Exiles team had greater flexibility in their pairings as they had 7 players on duty as opposed to our 4.

Tina & Simon never really got into their stride in their game eventually losing 7-13. All therefore came down to the remaining game and despite some good boules from the Aldeburgh pair, there was no rub of the green and The Exiles moved into a match winning position with a 13-8 triumph.

So once again ABC go down 3-1 to the Bealings team and didn't really play as well as we can but lets hope that this victory doesn't prove to be decisive in the long run.

Next up for Aldeburgh is the return fixture with the Greyhound Inn Pettistree.
