Well the 2011 Bocce season is underway. It kicked off last night and Stacy, Phyllis and Todd engaged in battle royale with the very friendly and helpful Team Egan. The first game went to the plucky newcomers 11-7 but the wily veterans bounced back in game 2 to win by the same score. As darkness crept up and all he other team finished their games, the 3rd game became a battle of wills, contested 1 point at at time. It was almost 9, the score knotted at 10, when Team Egan's Terry rolled their last ball. If he failed to best Chewbocce's placement, the game would be over but he managed to snuggle right up against the pallino. Chewbocce had a couple of chances to knock him off but just missed doing so and Team Egan were victorious. It was a beautiful and very fun night of Bocce and we are excited about the rest of the season.
It was quite a first night. Todd and I were concerned as we didn't know how to play the game, didn't have enough players, and generally were confused. However by nights end we knew how to play and score the game. We also noted that our teammate, Phyllis, excels at knocking other balls out of her way which works to our advantage as it makes the other team quite nervous. Watch out NE Bocce League the Chewbocce is looking to take home the trophy.
