Sunday 11th June was to be our Open Triples but unfortunately it has to be postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.
Hopefully we can hold it later in the season. Please pass this message on.
League starts
Every picture tells story and this image says Harrogate (new kids on the block) beat Heckmondwike (current champions) 3-2 and Huddersfield lost 1-4 to Leeds. Mirfield had a bye. Things will change hopefully for the better. We have 40 games to play over the next 10 weeks. So far we’ve played 5 and won just 1.
Mixed Pairs
After the 3 round snake The Dolphins (David & Pauline) and The Beeches (Sandra & Geertje) shared 4th place on 2W + 2 and won their entry fee back ie £4 each teamIn 3rd place were Maureen and Sandie with 2W +12 who won £5
Only two teams won all 3 games in the snake – Trafford 1 (Aly & Chris) with 3W + 18 and Rhythm & Soul (Roy & Sue) with 3W +29!
Rhythm & Soul were helped to their +29 by scoring a maximum 6 TWICE during the snake rounds! Following the raffle draw these 2 teams played a final game.
Trafford started well gaining 5 points in the first end but Huddersfield replied with 4 points in the second end. The next few ends were close but R&S gained the upper hand and emerged victorious with a win to 10.

Charity event launched
Last week at the AGM and in the following week the club has been advertising its Charity event via many media channels. The idea is simple. Organisations in Huddersfield enter a boules competition and pay an entry fee of £30 which all goes to charity. Teams play in small leagues to find the top 4 who play semis and finals on Bak Holiday Monday in late August. There is a consolage prize for those who don’t end up in the top 4 teams and the best 4 in the consolage also play at finals day.
Any organisation can enter a team. Look at https://boulesbash.wordpress.com for more information in particular the full rules.
We need to have about 16 teams enter to make it viable. Entries close end of May and the games are played at Greenhead Park during June and July.
