Sun 29/09/24 – PARIBC = 141 v Cliffe BC = 45.

A comfortable start to the winter 2024 / 25 social season, saw us beat old friends and local neighbours Cliffe BC, in a reduced 5 x triples match, (from 6 x triples), with our cause aided by the fact the Oppo played their last outdoor game on the Sat and then yesterday, (Sun), they started their indoor season against us.  Needless to say, the ditch saw a lot of action!  With the posted alphabetical team sheets causing mass confusion all round, it meant that the today, PARIBC were captained by Val Cook, ably assisted on coaching matters by Austin Rogerson, with both revelling in their roles, although Val Green may disagree with the latter, ho, ho?!  Top rink were the triple of Peter Edwards, Dave Elliott and Dot Elliott, so congratulations to them, but we were victorious across all rinks, with some big scores registered.  But, result aside, it was the usual, very social and friendly afternoon and to prove that some things never change, Dave Randall chipped in with his usual wrong bias, a cracker that travelled across 4 other rinks before being picked up…KER – CHING!  With the Club Captain once again, not good enough to be picked, his day went from bad to worse, when he was hammered by nearly 60 shots, in the 100 up comp., by the new barmaid and not half bad bowler, Joanna, (or is it Joanne, we just don’t know?!), Green.  Thanks to Gemma and Max for the tea and biccies, to Katie for doing the bar, to supporters Julia and Fran for the chat and Eddy and Rose for the money and to Club magician, (available for winter and summer bookings!), Marc Carr, for help with locking up!  Next week we are at home to Deangate IBC, with just the 14 reserves on this day, to try and keep happy!
