99th Post.....Ciaran retains the League Title.

 Monday Competition BBC Group A

Ciaran maintained his fine form to the end to retain the Tom Walsh Trophy.  He had an unassailable lead even before today's play.

Final result sheet for BBC Group A Competition Dec 2021.

As you can see James gave Ciaran a good run for his money.  They both played identical number of matches and scored fifteen 'thirteens' each.  However, Ciaran had a slightly better scoring average over the best of twenty-four counting scores.  Hard luck James and congrats also to Sean who was just off the pace.
The timed, three changes during the two hour slot was novel for us but it worked well.  Everyone enjoyed the games and there was regularly more than twelve playing.

Our final competition games before the Christmas break was well attended and enjoyable despite the wind chill.

Matchplay Competition is hotting up.....while slow to start, with the difficulties arranging fixtures, we are now well underway with the cream beginning to rise.  The first three pairs after this group stage will have a bye into the quarter finals.  
The remaining ten pairs will play a 'Single' game to advance in the knockout phase.  Ciaran will draw the pairings and advise us.  While just the 'single' game counts, feel free to play on if you wish at your leisure without any further scores counting. 
The last eight pairing will be bracketed and will play 'Single' games with the winner advancing from each match, in true knockout fashion, until the final winning pair is decided.
This competition should be over before Christmas - weather permitting.

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. Christmas Triples Competition: Ciarán or

  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.
