Deben Division
The team welcomed local neighbours Parrot & Punchbowl Aldeburgh to the Moot Hall Piste earlier today in the latest Coastal League match, with the Aldringham team being the only one the team hadn't faced so far this season.
The Parrot have steadily improved over the course of the season and under the leadership of captain Darren, they showed Aldeburgh that they weren't going to be push-overs.
Using the normal pairings Simon & Lewis opened the match on the roadside piste whilst Jimmy & Tina took the beachside lane. With the Parrot proving a handful, the Fletchers found themselves 9-0 before pulling back to 11-11 before finally slipping to a 13-11 defeat, their first of the season. Fortunately Jimmy & Tina held on to earn a 13-10 win.
Not for the first time this season did the team face a 1-1 score at the 'half-time' stage. Time for the second round of games...
Tina & Simon selected the more flatter beachside lane and despite dropping two points on the first end, managed to point and shoot their way to a 13-3 victory, so securing a draw at the very least.
Lewis' confident shooting and Jimmys' pointing put the Mill into a decent position and with an unfortunate shot by the Parrot pair that cleared the only Parrot boule in the head, the Mill were left with the two deciding points to grab both game and overall match victory.
This latest league win puts the Mill two points clear of second placed Golden Key Snape and looking forward to an away match next week at the Dolphin Inn Thorpeness.
