Once again the Mill Inn Aldeburgh have submitted their registration application for the Suffolk Coastal Petanque League, with 2011 being their fourth season, as they are one of the ''Original 9'', the moniker giving to the teams that competed in the inaugral season (way) back in 2008.
Previous seasons have seen 7th place in 2008, Deben Division winners & Bronze Medalists in 2009 and 9th place in 2010 (one place off qualifying for the play-off stages).
Pre-season activity has seen the team attempting to secure the services of between 4 and 5 additional players, 2 of whom have played in odd matches during the 2009 and 2010 seasons but may be able to play more often. Added to that is the ''growing'' talent of 13 year old Lewis, who standing at nearly 6ft, is currently considered to be one of the best upcoming junior talents in the country, having attended the English Petanque Associations Weekend of Excellence twice in the last 3 seasons.
Team captain Jimmy Robinson will be looking to the team to maintain a challenge within their own division and be looking for at least a Last 16 play-off position, but with many new teams entering, the team will need to be on top of their game especially away from home where valuable league points have been dropped in the past.
The team thank Dennis & Sue at The Mill Inn Aldeburgh for their continued support.
