42nd Post.

What a beautiful morning!  Thirteen players for Week 5 of the competition.  Ciaran has collated the scores, as follows:


Charlie is holding his lead on 126 after 5 games. with Ciaran, Sean and Chris in hot pursuit.
As you can see we're continuing to practice our 'Social Distancing' while still enjoying the games.






We draw the cards after 9.20 a.m. so players can be on the pistes ready to play at 9.30 a.m. to 11.00 a.m.
the accumulated score in the time frame is your aim, so if one game is below par you can always make amends in the next game....if you're opponents allow!  You finish the end you're playing when the time is up.
Where possible we will play in groups of 4.  If the numbers don't allow that, then we will try to avoid three players playing singles as it is the slowest form of play.
However, any player arriving after play has started, will, if it's a rare occurrence, be accommodated but players need to be willing to have a new player join the group while maintaining their score.  It may entail going from three boules each to two boules each if a group of two becomes a group of three.
Solve it all by arriving well before 9.30 a.m. please.
2 v 2 is the preferred game but there will be times when 1 v 1, 3 v 3, 3 v 2, and the dreaded 1 v 1 v 1 may have to happen.

We have had various visitors playing on the pistes recently:  



Tom with former work colleagues.  Spot the Badge!!!




Michael with fellow players from Bushy Park trying out the pistes.

127th Post: 2024 - The Year of Bayside Boules

Image
Some of the Committee will be meeting an officer of Fingal, Janette Scott in early January  with a view to gleaning advice and support for the future development of Bayside Boules.  Monday Competition: This is the penultimate table with Ciarán in the lead.  Chris could technically have stolen the title had he been able to play on the final Monday and Ciarán was to lose all his games.  Unfortunately, he was unable to play and Ciarán won on merit anyway on the final Monday.   He also beat Tom Buckley's record of 20 'Thirteens' in a competition.  He retains the trophy which we will present formally at the first session of the next round of competition.  Congratulations Ciarán!! Unusually we didn't lose any Monday to inclement weather.  Also, we wish Joan all the best with her continuing recovery and will be delighted to see her back in action in 2024.  All the best to any other of pour members who are indisposed over this Christmas.

124th Post: The Ladies are closing in.....

Image
  Monday Competition Group A: Ciarán won the third quarter Singles Monday Competition 2023.  Congratulations Ciarán. Tom Buckley the previous winner, who incidentally has the record of 20 x 13s in a single league in the last iteration,  presented Ciarán with the trophy before play today in the first game of the new Competition.  While Ciarán won the competition he noted that Agnes was 2nd; Maureen 3rd and Mary was 4th.  The ladies are truly closing in........ Fourteen played today in dull but dry conditions.  All played with three boules each with one singles match each time frame.  More people are 'shooting' now which will improve our standards going forward. The weather may have been dull but the play certainly wasn't ! Bayside Community Day: Bayside Community Association invited the voluntary community groups to showcase and advertise their activities on Sunday 1st October in the Community Centre.  Our thanks to Joan Maher, Larry Breheny, Ciarán Walsh, Gertie Gilbert, Ma
