It was beautiful evening at the Campbell Bocce Grounds Friday night. The balls were rolling, the wine was flowing and the music had us swaying. Really it was only the music, not the wine. I think.
First match was Barb’s BB Busters vs Erin Go Bocce , and it was definitely an example of practice makes perfect. With two of Captain Conor’s EGB players, Lori and guest Jeff (subbing for Carl Alderete) having had more than a few hours of practice the previous night, it was a lopsided win. Barb and regular team player Nate were ably assisted by substitutes Rupert and Carla but the foursome could not put any combos together and lost miserably 12-1 against the accurate rolling of Conor, Deb, Lori & Jeff.
The second game of the evening pitted Cozzie and the Hot Rollers, with super competitive Captain Carla and teammates Jamie, Jim Woodcock and Jill (subbing for Moshia) against the Ball Breakers. With a quick three point lead, BB Captain Chris Cattich and his strategically picked substitutes Jim Leon, Nate and Carl (better late than never Alderete) looked to be real threat to Carla and her ace veterans. However, in very short order, the Hot Rollers got their game on and never looked back. Final score Cozzie 12- Ball Breakers 4
The evenings final game matched missing Captain Teds’ Balls Deep and Game of Throwns with Captain Jill, Rupert, Carol and Chis Coates. Carl (thanks for the gorgeous wine Alderete) filled in for the missing Ted and paired with teammate Jim Leon dominated the scoreboard end of the court. Jack and Leslie did the same on their end, although Jack graciously granted a couple points to his wife in honor of their 21st anniversary early in the game. Balls Deep 12- Game of Throwns 6
