Subject to results elsewhere, Aldeburgh Boules Club moved into second place of the Deben Division of the Suffolk Coastal Petanque League, following a very good home performance earlier today at the Moot Arena, culminating in a 3-1 victory over Suivres Les Boules Playford.
The visitors, Playford, were currently heading the divisional table and had only suffered one defeat this season, this being the 3-1 defeat by Aldeburgh earlier in the league programme.
Starting with the 'normal' four players, Aldeburgh commenced with Simon & Lewis (fresh from their petanque exploits in Turkey) in the first pairing. Four ends later and Aldeburgh were 1-0 up with a 4,3,1 and 5 scored earning a 'fanny' 13-0 result. Over on the seaward lane Jimmy and Tina started well but eventually went down 13-9 to Playfords Malcolm & Sam.
So with the match poised at 1-1, like most matches seem to, the Aldeburgh team knew a victory was required to give them any hope of reaching the end of seasons play-off. Tina and Simon played a short distance game and secured at least a draw with a 13-3 win over Jim & Malcolm. This left it all up to Jimmy & Lewis, who held the upperhand for the majority of the game and eventually turned in a 13-6 result, giving the Seasiders the two league points and again defeating Playford by a 3-1 scoreline.
Whilst Playford remain top, Aldeburgh are now just two points behind with 2 matches in hand, the first of which is in two weeks time, away at the Pettistree Greyhound team.
