Gordon & Phil (Kings Head) and Tara & Jean (Winnersh)  represented Thames valley at this event on the 29th September.

Both did very well and qualified for the Gold event, unfortunately they were drawn against each other in the first round.

See results page for pictures and more info.

Gordon  and Phill  reached the Semi Final of the Silver Consolage 

They had a great start by winning two out of three in the morning league.
Southern 11-13 Thames Valley 
Sussex 10-13 Thames Valley 
Kent 13-1 Thames Valley

After lunch they played the same Southern team from the morning  and unfortunately lost  to 11. The next game was is in the Silver consolage versus Eastern which sadly they lost.

Both Gordon and Phill played extremely well against tough opposition! 

Great start for both teams in the morning. 

The first saw TV1 Linda, Dean & Snowy: Win against East Midlands.   TV2 Dave, Mark & Chris Lost against a very good Kent team to 8. 

They played some amazing boule and Kent went on to win the competition!

Second game TV1 vs Heart of England was a win and so was TV2 vs East Midlands.

The day ended TV1 Linda, Dean and Snowy reaching the Semi Final of the Silver Consolage and TV2 Dave, Chris and Mark reaching the Semi Final of the Gold Consolage.

Thanks to Suffolk Coastal for this nice trophy. They presented one to every region as this was the first Inter-Regionals they had attended, a very nice gesture.

There is a website that will show results as we progress though the week-end.
