Everyone at Nutbrook Petanque would like to send best wishes and hopes to see you soon. Take care.

BIRDS, BACON AND BOULES

Many thanks to Steve and Sharon for a great day; the walk was very enjoyable and the food delicious. I was delighted to see a couple of grebes, my favourite bird, and a Mandarin duck with his partner, a beautiful couple, along with another 31 different species. With the sunblazing down, birds singing their little hearts out and the sound of people enjoying their time it was a day to remember. Thanks again.

NUTBROOK LEAGUE RESULTS

Storm continued their run of form on Thursday 25th April with a brilliant 3-1 result and an impressive 44 points against 20 points for the Nottingham Riders. The games were played on tricky pistes in weather that felt more like the middle of December than the end of April making their win even more wonderful. This win takes Storm more than halfway up the league table so well done to all.

Despite the cold and bitter wind, the Buzzards maintained their great form on Thursday 25th April against the young team of Fledglings with a 3-1 win and 49 points to 32 points. The Fledglings played well but were just unable to keep their best boules on the cochette. The Buzzards are keeping their amazing second place in the league table with the Ruffs the only team to beat.

PAM AND DAVE SAUNDERS SHIELD

Many congratulatons to our winners on a cold and blustery day. Phill Allen aptly stormed ahead with 4 wins and a plus of 33 points, Mick Walton followed closely behind also with 4 wins but fewer points.

It was a closely contested melee as several members managed 3 wins despite adverse conditions.

Many thanks to Phill for running the event so successfully. Enjoy the wine!

BUZZARDS STILL FLYING HIGH

The Buzzards held Titchfield Outlaws to a 2 – 2 draw on Thursday 18th April, gaining the advantage with 43 points to 36 points to steal the aggregate and retain their second spot on the Leader Board. Well done yet again.

The Fledglings held the Kestrels to a 1 – 3 finish on Thursday 18th April with 38 points to 51, giving the Kestrels the advantage. They were hard fought games against a team towards the top of the table.

Nutbrook Storm are still ahead of last years results with another 2 – 2 draw on Thursday 18th April and are working hard to gain that elusive extra point. They have a great team spirit and will soon be storming ahead.
