Despite mixed fortunes for our two teams in the Three Shires League, this week was a very good start to the season.
On Monday The Plaiters travelled to Baldock to play The Outlaws. The result was a very satisfying 3 -2 win against one of the best teams in the first division.
Tuesday saw our weekly lunchtime practice session, with an enjoyable hour or two in warm sunshine.
On Thursday it was the turn of The Boaters to begin their division three campaign. They played at home against the Noah's Ark, one of the teams relegated last year from the second division. Despite losing 3 - 2 it was a very creditable performance, and just a smidgin more luck might have seen a 13 -12 defeat in one of the triples turned into a victory, and an overall win in the match.
At the same time, several club players turned out for the weekly Thursday evening session, creating a good atmosphere at our home venue.
Al in all, a very enjoyable week of both competitive and social boules.
