Game Report: this Winner Stays On Power Play finally saw two of this year's Cardiff favourites come together - Webster and Murray. As stepladders, shelving units  and Rosemary Banter were used to increase the extreme levels both Murray and Webster rose to the occasion. Newcomber Calvert put a brave showing but this was top level Extreme Boule. Moss struggled to come to terms with the short games, Wort snuck a few victories but the evening belong to Webster and Murray. Murray eventually sneaked it by the narrowest of margins but both will be flying up the World Rankings. 4

Game Report: On a rain sodden evening the parks of Cardiff once more saw Messrs Murray, Wort and Moss do battle. Murray ,who's boule career is back on an upward curve, was the hot favourite. Meanwhile Wort and Moss (both ranked outside the top 15) seemed to be mere points fodder for Murray. The game started tightly with each player snatching odd points. Then Moss switched tac tics in a stroke of genius. Calling upon Port Time,  Moss played to his strengths confounding both Murray and Wort. Furthermore knowing that the game was to end on the unknown arrival time of Webster, Moss stalled  proceedings by serving up liberal portions of Frenchman's Prerogative. Moss finished on a flourish by offering double points in the final round, thus jepardising his lead, only to bag all the bonus points himself. Bravo!
