And Play Bocce! This famous Italian quote, “Eat well, laugh often, love much” pretty much sums up our leagues return to what we do best. Good food, lots of fun, great friends and of course Bocce.

The night began molto rapidamente as Game1 was a blur, quickly ending once Captain Bob’s Rolling Thunder smashed Captain Jill’s What The Focce 13-0. Rolling strongly for the Thunder were Karen, Tiffany, Brooke and Bob and Chris. Focce regulars Scott and Rich were joined by substitute Jack, but will need another game to revive their skills.

Game 2 between Captain Kelly’s Sons of Pitches with Travis, Leanne and substitute Tiffany could have been a blowout against Captain Dianne’s Bocce Bunch. The Bunch were entirely MIA, no Woodcock, no Gerda, no Carla and no Jim Leon but Captain Dianne wisely tapped Brooke, Scotty and June to build a dynamic team of all subs. Back and forth to a 9-9 tie, then those Sons of Pitches pulled ahead to capture the win at 13-10. Excellent effort Dianne et.al.

Our final night’s game was between long time CBL Champion Captain June Weaver and her Mission Imbocceballs, with outstanding rolls by Jack and Pete, closely aided by Jen and Captain June against Captain Jaime and the Pallino Crushers. The Crushers’ fought a very close point by point game with players Clay, Conor and Camille (sure she’s not a ringer?) but in the end were defeated 12-7.

Its too early for meaningful results, however to get you in the mood here are the results from Game 1 and the Standings so far.
