Today we played our final league game. We entered the contest with a record of 3 and 3. A .500 record. Could we go to 4 and 3? I have to tell you that expectations were low as our opponents today were arguably the best team in all the Bocce League divisions here in the resort. There are well over 500 members in the league and competition is stiff. The all male team that we met today plays together as a team 4 or 5 days a week in various divisions. At the Awards ceremonies in a couple of weeks they will, as they usually do, walk away with many of the top honours. And today, we beat them!!! The final score was 15 to 4. Now we have been on the loosing end of a 15 to 4 score but I can tell you without hesitation that being on the winning end is a lot more fun. What a great way to end the year.
Another Bocce Ball season is over for our team, "The Northern Lights". To say it has been an up and down season would be an understatement. After we won today we were all looking forward to next year. A month go I think we were all looking forward to the end of the season. Nothing like a big win to turn things around.
Oh, if anyone was wondering, no we are not in the playoffs. After the win today I started telling everyone that we were "the best team NOT in the playoffs". Makes me think of the Vancouver Canucks.....but I digress.....
Here is an iPhone photo that was taken after our big win today. 4 very happy Bocce Ball players!
