Bocce……the end….and the Winners!

Just in case you get bored before I get to the end of this very long Bocce Blog I’m going to start at the end!

And the winners are….

 

Dennis and Bill….holding the Teeny Tiny Trophy!  Good work guys!  They only lost one game in the whole tournament and it was to Frank and Ursula at the very end, so they had to play them again.  Very close!

I have stored up three days of pictures…lucky you.  Here are Ursula and Frank playing Eddie and Regina!

Eddie throws.

Bocce decoration…Dicks’ laundry.  Nice shorts.

I asked Dennis (Canadian) why he was wearing USA socks….they’re comfortable he said.  Good reason.

Look who’s here.  Eric actually turned up to watch briefly.  Not his thing.

Gunter and Jeannette played really well but Dennis and Bill beat them.

Marilyn shoots.  Nice delivery and very snappily dressed. 

Max looks puzzled.  Did the ball not go where he wanted.

Dick has a really high delivery. 

In the end he and Marilyn lost to Sam (aka Rita playing for husband Sam) and Max.

I don’t think Helene and Rita are discussing strategy. 

Hal is an intense player.

So is Carol.

Marion gives it her all.

Val was very accurate but….

She and Marion lost.

And so did Helene.

 

Richard and Sandi made it into the playoffs.

Dennis and Richard contemplate the game.

Bosco says…..”are you kidding me….this is really boring and I need a nap!”

Ursula and Frank continue on winning.

Richard and Sandi lose to Bill and Dennis.  At this point Dennis and Bill have not lost a game. 

Marion and Val lose to Gunter and Jeannette.

Go Max go!

Measure it, measure it, measure it.  No arguing with the Refs.

Marion and Val lose to Sam and Max.  Come on Sam….give her a hug.!

Manny plays well and always has a smile on his face. 

Manny and Nancy don’t win, but have fun. 

Regina and Eddie are still playing well but Sam and Max win.

 

Sam and Max think about the next shot.

The final day and Sandi and Richard get the prize for the most colorful and coordinated clothes.  Very photogenic.

Didn’t help though.  Sam and Max won.

Sandi has just make a bad shot and has given Max and Sam 3 points.  Max is very understanding and feels sorry for her…..nice man!

Getting down to the nitty gritty and Frank and Ursula are in it to the end.

 

Max congratulates his wife Ursula. 

Ursula and Helene chat while Max and Hal look on.

Bill and Ursula are played against each other in the final…..twice. 

This is the fourth and final game of the morning and there is still a good sized crowd. 

Ursula needed to make this shot to save the game but….

….it didn’t happen and she and Frank lost.  Super play and Max is looking on.

Remember who won…..Dennis and Bill.  Lots of fun and really good Bocce.
