📢 Boules Tournament Recap: A Day of Fun and Friendly Competition! 🎯🌞 On Friday, May 17th, the St. Michael’s Hospice Charity events team hosted our inaugural Boules tournament at the Tala Boules Club in sunny Cyprus. Here’s a glimpse of the exciting day: The Draw and Mini Leagues: Twenty pairs participated, and we divided them into four mini leagues for a round-robin elimination. The winning pair from each league advanced to the semi-finals, while the remaining 16 pairs competed in the Plate knockout tournament. Lunchtime and Souvlaki: As lunchtime approached, we gathered on the sunny terrace of the Hazeli Bar. Souvlaki was on the menu, and Melissa Williams provided delightful tunes. Plate Competition: After lunch, the Plate competition resumed. The sixteen pairs narrowed down to eight, and then to our semi-finalists. Main Event: Plate Final: Robert Brookfield and Norbert Dewas faced off against Lucy and David Keeton in the Plate Final. Lucy, a first-time winner, walked away with a runner-up medal as Robert and Norbert secured victory. Grand Final: The main event featured Graham Clark and Alan Boswell against Paul and Jackie Gibbons. The crowd eagerly watched as the hard-fought battle unfolded. In the end, Graham and Alan emerged as the champions. Terrace Refreshments and Awards: We moved back to the terrace, enjoying refreshments and the warm hospitality of Renos and the team. Charity president David Hart and his wife Carolyn joined us for the trophy presentation. The raffle added an extra layer of excitement. Farewell: With memories of a fun and competitive day, we slowly dispersed, grateful for the camaraderie and support.
