New Inn (Kilmington) v Beer Club Wed 21st July 2010.
On 20th July the rain had set in and with great reluctance Mimi decided that his legs would have to be covered to protect them from the elements (such fragile, rather sickly objects that they are) so he took it upon himself to postpone the match with the intrepid opponents of the New Inn in Kilmington. However the next day the weather had improved and the team including Captain Mimi sporting his still ivory tinted matchsticks, met at the Social Club for the trip to Kilmington. The bare bones of a team were available as Mimi's use of a phone was also apparently limited and Brock the Badger had not been informed of the amended date. However Captain Mimi, Andy the Fish and Lanky Sam made their way to Colyton to meet Too Accurate Bob and the Smokestack Slimmer at our illustrious venue. Big Kim was joining us later as he was cooking dinner for his lovely daughters as Lady Jane was out on an end of school razzle. After a marvellous navigational feat from Lanky Sam the three arrived at Kilmington in record time despite some rather questionable driving from Mimi. We can only hope he will be more accurate with his boules. Thank you for driving Mimi, it is always an experience.
Expectations of a hard fought match were in the Beer minds as this fine team from the New Inn had beaten us last year by2-3. A very sporting team and worthy opponents they promised to be. The first match consisted of Andy the Fish and The Smokestack Slimmer. Maurice had not played much in the last two weeks and Andy was going through a quiet period in his bouling season so could they raise their standard to its potential? It did not appear so as they struggled to an early deficit but gradually found their form as they clawed back to a very commendable 9-6 victory. 1-0 to Beer. Accurate Bob was paired up with Mimi and his spindles for the second leg . A fine leg it was too (a complete contrast to those of our captain) as New Inn took an early and deserved lead but this was also recovered by the Beer duo as they forged ahead to a well earned 9-7 victory. The New Inn were certainly showing their fighting qualities and making things hard for the Beer boys. Big Kim had now arrived with the smell of smoke from his culinary expertise pervading the atmosphere, even Smokestack Maurice was looking slightly miffed as his title came under threat. However it did not affect Kim's boules, even enhancing them as the two swept into an 8-0 lead. With the last boule of the end, New Inn were holding two shots and Sam had one to play into a large area that would have given Beer a 9-0 lead. This is where compassion struck, the New Inn players looked so downcast and they had been so good natured that Sam threw his boule away from the jack and the New Inn had gained two shots. Such is the kind nature of Lanky Sam. The Beer boys wrapped it up in the next end thus winning 9-2 and seeing Beer into a 3-0 lead.
In the triples, New Inn Janet declared to all that her hands were warm and this so excited Mimi that he exclaimed that his white sparrow’s legs were beginning to glow although this was not observed by anyone else as those objects were things everyone had avoided to bring into vision. Poor Janet, obviously distressed by Mimi's observations, suffered a little in the form of her earlier game and soon found her team were defeated by some fine bouling from Andy, Bob and the leg man himself by 9-2. To try for maximum points Maurice, Kim and Sam played against Dean, well known for his exquisite umpiring and alternative measuring technique, and his two compatriots. Beer however were now on a roll and soon the game was ended at 9-1 to Beer. A great performance lads, a well played and enjoyable match. We would like to thank our opponents for making this such a fun evening with good camaraderie some extremely pleasant amber nectar and good food.
Next week the Beer team meet in a top of the table clash with the Lamb of Mutton from Axminster who at the moment are in second place and our nearest rivals. It is played at the Beer Club so any support will be more than welcome.
