Alex Myles reports:
Muriel, Peter and Chris Molsher; Jean Green and Glynn Warren; Jill and I, played the second match of the NDL Season, as ABC Wasps, at home to Bordon on Tuesday evening 12 April.
It was a closely contested match and, although we lost 6 to 3 in games, the total points difference was only 3, 93 to us and 96 to them. Also a few of the games, with a bit of luck, could easily have gone to us rather than them. Each of our 3 pairs won a game and Jean and Glynn came very close to winning their other two as well. I think that they were particularly keen to do well against their former club.

NDPL Claygate Bedouins v ABC Bees
Tony Riches reports:
On a glorious Sunday afternoon (10 April) the Bees travelled to Oxshott to play their second game of the season and I am afraid we suffered another 6-3 loss. It really was a case of deja vu as again we were whitewashed in the first round but we gradually became accustomed to the terrain winning 1 game in the second round and 2 in the third round. What a pity there was not a fourth round! I shall now go on holiday to lick my wounds and on my return plan the defeat of the Hornets who we play next. The team at Oxshott comprised Ingrid and me, George and Val, and Benny and Margaretha.

NDPL ABC Bees v Crondall Lions
Tony Riches reports:
The Bees had their first game of the season on Saturday afternoon 2 April at Kirdford. It was a pleasant day for playing boules and we played on an immaculately prepared piste thanks to the services of chairman Mike which was much appreciated.
Sadly it was not a good start, losing the match 6-3. The first round proved disastrous for us, losing all three games, although one of the games was time expired with the score at 12-11, and one more end, who knows! The second round was an improvement, with two wins for the Bees, but unfortunately we could only manage one more win in the final round. Congratulations to Peter and Mavis for winning two of their games, and a "mention in dispatches" for Benny, who playing in only two games, won one and nearly won the above mentioned time expired game!
Our team of seven comprised Tony R Tony F George Peter and Mavis and Benny and Margaretha.

ABC Wasps, away to Oxshott Hotshots on Thu, 31 March
Alex Myles reports:
The Bonhams, Bobby Newberry, Jean Vanstone, Jill and I, played the first game of the NDL Season, as ABC Wasps, away to Oxshott Hotshots on Thursday evening 31 March.
We started the season on a suitably low note being thrashed eight games to one. It was an uphill struggle.
We turned up expecting to play Boules, but we found that we were required to play Roules ( pardon the pidgin French ). We had just started to master the technique by the last games, to the extent that Derek and Jean Bonham managed a 12-6 timed-out win and therefore share our " Man of the Match Award".
It was all very friendly and hospitable, but we will do our damnest to have our revenge when the Hotshots return to Kirdford to play our sort of game.
