Boules Competition
Unfortunately, for the second year in succession, the Advance Party Boules team failed to qualify past the group stage despite the recall to the side of the experienced veteran Mr D Chasemore. The day started brightly, unlike our Boules. We were down 7-2 in the first game, however, following some great play from messers Chasemore, Cundy and Ayres, Advance emerged victorious leaving the other team stunned and scratching their heads?! As the day and the refreshments flowed on, the level of accuracy and competitiveness ebbed away, although we only actually lost two out of the six group matches. Pre-tournament practice will start shortly for next year’s event to ensure a better result!
Cricket
June this year saw the Advance Cricket Team come out to defend their record of 1 loss in 9 years against a team of local enthusiasts!! The game was played in the idyllic setting of the Combe Hay Manor grounds with an Oak tree within the boundary and a brook traversing the edge of the pitch.After 40 overs of a mixture of text book and flamboyant cricket shots and catches, the game was won by the home team by only 7 runs. Things may have been different if certain people weren't given out for hitting a six into the river!! A really good evening was had by all, and Advance have already arranged a 20/20 match against another financial services company at the Sulis Club, Bath on 3rd August at 6pm.
