We are now just past the half way point of regular season play. Standings are no surprise, with Captain Jim Woodcock and his indomitable Sleeps with the Fishes leading the league standings. Aided by stalwarts Bobbie Corso, Chris Cattich and The Italian Gal, they absolutely destroyed the Bollabridgidas 12-4 in Game 3. Despite some well rolled balls by the Bolla’s Barb and Leslie, at their end Coach Lynne and Chris just couldn’t out perform Jim and Bobbie.

Rupert and his Garden of Earthly Delights were assisted by substitutes Mr Smith and Captain Woodcock standing in for the vacationing Carla and Kris Costa, but as in their last two games Rupert, Susie and the subs put up a valiant effort but in the end were defeated by the competent coaching of captain Conor and his Minions, Jack, Luke and Jim Leon. Given the home court advantage for three of the Minions it is really no surprise.

Clay and his regular No TAC team  of Carl, Sheryl and Mr. Smith all on hand and working the court like pros, soundly defeated the Mangiamos. Captain John was MIA, but the Mangiamos were lucky to have the visiting Judy Thomas joining Deborah, Kay and Teddie. The Mangiamos fought well and  even looked like they might come back for the win, but it was not to be and the Mangiamos now join the Bollabridgidas with just one win to date for the season standings.

FYI, there is a new section to our Campbell Bocce League website, RECIPES. Just look on the Navigation bar on the far right.

Our next dinner theme for Round 4 will be Mediterranean Nights. Let me know what you can contribute and I will post it on this page.

OK Everyone, here we go again. Round 2 showed a lot of spirit and just like Round 1, each game was closely fought. There was one exception, the game between Lynne’s Bollabridgidas and Lingo’s No Talent Ass Clowns was nearly a run away with Mr Smith, aided by substitutes Jim and Matt Coates skillfully winning 3 and 4 points in a frame.

But the big news, (and gang it is time to pay attention), is that Captain Jim Woodcock’s Swims With The Fishes has an early lead in the standings. SWT Fishes, with teammates Mrs. Smith, Chris Cattich and Bobby Corso is 2 wins to 0 losses. I know it may seem early, but beware, previous seasons have proved that Captain Jim rarely gives up a lead.

Finally, a big thank you to Captain Jim for his awesome Asian styled BBQ ribs, Matt’s Lumpia, and to everyone who contributed to an absolutely wonderful Asian Luau dinner.
