Have Barrow, Will Travel

Frank wanders around the green with an empty wheelbarrow looking for anything to put in it. He was heard to say, “I used to keep it full of four-leafed clovers, but I had to stop when I realised that I shouldn’t push my luck!”

Winday (not Windy)

Yesterday all three of our Clwydian League Teams won their matches. The ‘C’ Team had the best result with a 10:2 victory, and both the ‘A’ & ‘B’ Teams won 8:4.

Aiming High

Yesterday was a day of mixed fortunes in the Quarter Finals of the Cup Competition for our three Clwydian League Teams. The ‘A’ Team had a 7:4 win over its opponent, the ‘B’ Team had to withdraw from its Quarter Final as there were not enough players available to make up a team (thanks to Carol & John B for your support of the ‘A’ Team though) and the ‘C’ Team just lost out to its opponent.

In the meantime, here’s a timely reminder of what the Ladies & Men’s Singles Trophies at Wimbledon look like

Seeing Things?

Do you think you are seeing a lot of round things like the above rather than the round things in the second picture? Then you might find that you are watching, perhaps, a little too much television!
