League newcomers Royal Oak East Bergholt have now gone 6 Orwell Division matches without being on the winning side but Tuesday nights result was probably as good as a win.
Visiting team Hollesley Shepherd & Dog (last years Silver Medalists and this seasons Orwell league leaders) paid a visit to the Royal Oak, with a record of played 4, won 4, in a match that was re-arranged from a previously postponed date.
Obviously home advantage is a major factor, as whilst Hollesley have never lost at home in 2 years, the Oak have yet to lose themselves at home this season and put a dent in Hollesleys championship march with a very very respectable 2-2 draw.
This was the Oaks fourth draw of the year and sees them just off the foot of the table with some results yet to be received.

Golden Key Snape find the right combination to defeat Bealings
With the unbeaten Exiles Bealings team due to visit, the Golden Key Snape must surely of hoped for a better result than the 4-0 loss they suffered right back at the start of this years league fixtures.
With the Deben Division shaping up to be the most likely to be the tightest of all three divisions in the Suffolk Coastal Petanque League this year, the Golden Key have already come along way since the start of the 2009 season and have seen results steadily improve.
The Snape team have the leagues largest 'squad' with around 16 potential players to call upon, and certainly the 7 who were on duty last Sunday did themselves and their team proud with a big 3-1 win and thus spoiling the Exiles' unbeaten record.
This result brings the Key right into the melting pot as far as the end of season play-offs are concerned and with another 'big' encounter at the end of the month versus Suivre Les Boules Playford, anything can happen in this group.

Happy 'chimes' for Walberswick Bell
In a top-of-the table clash on Sunday, local rivals but good friends, the Bell Inn Walberswick entertained the Harbour Inn Southwold, in their Blyth Division match-up.
Both sides were occupying the top two spots in the division, with The Bell holding a 100% record so far this year and had already won 3-1 at Southwold earlier in the season.
Despite only just less than half of the league programme left, a significant result was obtained by Walberswick with another 3-1 triumph, putting them 3 points clear in pole position and with matches in hand over their nearest opponents in the table.

Lovely win for the Lovelies
Winning local derbies are one of the best moments in sports and the Kings Head Laxfield Lovelies enjoyed sweet success over their 'stablemates' Laxfield A, last Wednesday evening (24th June) with a 3-1 victory.
This was the Lovelies first league win and will start to push them up from the foot of the table and with half the league fixtures still to go, they have plenty of time to push further up the table, especially as the league positions are so tight in the Blyth Division.
