Bayside Boules Club - Alden Park - since late 2019

  We've arrived at the business end of the two month long BBC  Singles Matchplay Competition.  From the table below,, and the Quarter Final Bracket below that, you can the the cream of the crop.  Unfortunately Brian was unable to finish out the competition so his 4th place in Group 1 went to the next best-placed player Vivienne. The remaining fixtures will be played over this week with the Final on Sunday 4th July, weather permitting.  We expect a good deal of interest in these fixtures so spectators are asked to continue to socially distance, unless in a bubble.  Bring a chair if needed as the benches won't accommodate all-comers.   The Gov.
