New home piste for Rushmere Rugby Rollers

Orwell Division

Nick Bentley and his team, Rushmere Rugby Rollers, are changing their home piste to the Bramford Cock for the rest of the 2009 season.

This will then be their proposed home base for the 2010 season and beyond.

Good luck

Walberswick secure play-off spot

Blyth Division 22nd August

Last Saturday saw The Bell Walberswick travel to the Kings Head Laxfield for not one, but two, away fixtures in a 'double-header' against Laxfield A and Laxfield Lovelies respectively. Obviously conditions favoured Walberswick and they recorded a 4-0 win over the A team and a 3-1 triumph against the Kings Head ladies team.

These two wins put them clear at the head of the table with 8 wins from 9 matches and a total of 16 league points. Second placed Three Horseshoes North Cove have two matches left but cannot catch up the 5 point margin between them and the Bell.

Therefore its congratulations to The Bell as they have secured the Blyth Divisional title this season and will be one of the four teams contesting the End of Season Play-Offs.

The Greyhound secure their first league point

Deben Division - Sunday 23rd August

With a slightly earlier Sunday morning start, Pettistree Greyhound hosted title chasing Aldeburgh Boules Club in a Deben Division league match. On a deep gravelled area of the car park, the hosts earnt their first league point of the season with a worthy 2-2 draw. This result means that Aldeburgh will probably need to win their remaining two matches to secure the divisional title but with Snape away and Bealings at home, this will be a stiff test.

2009 End Of Season Play-Off Announcement

The official announcement of the venue and associated details for our End Of Season Play-Offs on Sunday 27th September, will be released on this website on 1st September, so please come back and check for some exciting news.

Draw specialists finally break duck

Having drawn 5 of their 7 league matches so far this season, the Royal Oak East Bergholt finally got the elusive first win of the season last weekend with a 3-1 home victory over Rushmere Rugby Rollers, in the Orwell Division of the 2009 Suffolk Coastal Petanque League.

They remain in fourth place with 2 matches left to play whilst Rushmere are sixth with 3 matches to complete before the season 'cut-off' point.

Apparently the after-match nibbles were very good as well.
