Tomorrow night after an amazing season, the fat lady will have had her moment and a new Champion will be crowned. Whose name will be engraved on the towering Campbell Bocce League perpetual trophy? Which players along with their captain will take home the Teddy? Well don’t miss the excitement Friday night beginning at 6:30 pm.

Our last major event was the Playoffs with the fierce competition between all six teams. The night’s first game was a tooth and nail biter as the 5th place Funky Cold Pollinas faced off against 6th place Girls with Balls for the dreaded Wooden Spoon. With both Captains Woodcock and Missin missing, Jamie Milliner and Chris Cattich filled in to exhort and coach their players, utilizing subs Rupert and Mo for the FCP and Conor subbing for the missing Missin. You may all well remember the first game of the season when Girls with Balls and the Funky Cold Pollinas battled point by point for over an hour with GWB emerging victorious 12-11. Well not this time! The Girls were emasculated 12-4 and appropriately enough will be awarded The Wooden Spoon for Last place. The Funky Cold Pollinas saved their dignity and have retired the season in Fifth place.

The Playoffs next two games pitted 2nd place A Bocce Problem against 3rd place Easy Rollers, and 1st place Dragon Ballz and 4th place East Coast Cosmos. All four teams had an equal chance at the Championship if they won their match.  Captain Barb with her full ABP team, Michelle, Nate and Jill playing like a well oiled machine nearly had the game clinched when Easy Rollers, Ted, Susan and Mo, led by the competitive Captain Carla roared back and clinched a championship berth 12-10.

The night’s final game couldn’t have been more different. With two 4 point combos, Dragon Ballz, Clay Lingo and Jim Leon utilized red hot sub Kimberly (once Captain Conor wisely begged for her assistance) to absolutely burn the struggling East Coast Cosmos 12-1. Led by Captain Bobby, Jack, Chris and Rupert of the Cosmos turned in their worst performance with only a single point earned by Jack early in the match saving them from total annihilation. The Dragon has earned their Championship berth, and will be facing the Easy Rollers Friday night.

Friday night will begin with A Bocce Problem and East Coast Cosmos playing for 3rd and 4th place. This swan song for both teams will commence during Cocktails and Appetizers. Then we will light the BBQ and thrown on the Ribeyes. We will keep an eye on the steaks and enjoy the rare opportunity to see two great teams Dragon Ballz and Easy Rollers battle for the right to clam the Teddy and have their names emblazoned on the Campbell Bocce League perpetual trophy.
