Away Day Point for The Mill

Sunday April 25th - Away to Pettistree Greyhound

The team, despite being without the services of Simon and Lewis (who were on Regional duty), arrived to the new piste area at Pettistree boarded by wood on harder shingle. Still a very interesting terrain and certainly a leveller for both sides. All matches were hard fought with Tina and Jimmy taking on Maureen and Ronnie, eventualy winning 13-2. Binnie and Chrissie didn't have the same luck and were at one point 12-1 down but they fought back one point at a time, finally losing 13-6.

Jimmy then paired with Chrissie and were down 12-10, then 12-12. Finally Chrissie dropped one right to the side of the coch and our hosts couldn't get close to it with 6 boules. 13 -12 to us. On the other piste Binnie and Tina were having a good tight game. Winning 12-9 with 3 boules perfectly placed but a moved coch to near the end and Pettistree dropped their last boules near it to clinch success from the jaws of defeat. Binnie could not quite then make his boule count. Another 13-12 but this time against Aldeburgh, therefore making the match score 2-2, just like last years league match here as well.

So the leagues first 2-2 draw of the season in any of the 6 divisions and now its just two weeks wait until the 'biggie' when Golden Key Snape are the visitors to the Moot Arena at Aldeburgh on Sunday May 9th, start time of 10.30am
