I couldn't ask for a better set of games. Both were extemely close: 11/13 and 12/13. In the first game (doubles), Sharon was paired with Jeff against Tony and Hal. We were neck-in-neck - with the decidind boule thrown by the ever talented Sharon. Then Hal joined us for mis-matched doubles/triples (Hal/Gene/Jeff vs Tony/Sharon). We were behind 6 to 12, but then caught up using a combination of strategy (boule in front rules) and stressful shooting. Finally, it was to be decided by a final well placed boule. Voila!
