The first round of the winter Friday morning league was played on Jan. 6. For the first time in almost ten years, the Friday league has four teams with every team playing weekly. The Bumpers— captained by Sally Fowler— met the Smashers—captained by Milly Larsen—while the Hot Rods—captained by Rod Osgood—faced the Flying Discs—captained by Chandra Patel, a first-time captain. Three players participated in their initial league competition: Lilly Rivera, Donna Gorman, and Annette O’Connell. There was plenty of excitement and friendly competition.
In the end, the Smashers outshot the Bumpers, winning seven games out of 12, while the Flying Disc’s edged out the Hot Rods winning seven out of 12. The all-game winners included: Mo Habel and Ellie West for the Flying Disc’s and Doris Morton for the Hot Rods. Mick O’Connell and Kay Mount were all-game winners for the Smashers. The winter Tuesday evening league played their first round of games on Jan. 9, and their results will be included in next week’s article.

At the Shuffleboard Club's first-ever New Year's Eve party, 21 people attended. With deli cious food for a rainy evening, plus enough sweets to keep people going throughout two games of “On the Line,” the group decided parties are a good thing.
