Match Report: Epic. Truely epic. Woolridge and Wort boule-battled for over three, maybe four hours, without break, in this Extreme Boule Marathon. The match saw Kissers, Double Kissers, Swan Rounds, Natural Collinson Rounds and much more. As the scores increased so did the pressure, with Wort collapsing to his knees at one point. Physical, Mental and Spiritual exhaustion was apparent, but both players battled on like a Jurassic Park veloceraptor trying to get into a kitchen. Ultimately it was Woolridge that managed to figure out the preverbial door handle with his preverbial dinosaur claw, claiming victory and taking him ever closer to the Number One Spot in the World Rankings. Ben Martin better watch out...

Match Report:
October 2nd on Clapham Common, the scene of a grudge-match between Hopkins and Woolridge. Hopkins' had a swagger about him which suggested that he had something to prove to the crowds, donning a elegantly erotic 'topless' style which hopefully will become his trademark playing style throughout winter.


Immediately, it was clear that Hopkins meant business, picking up 9 near-consecutive points. The heat obviously getting to Woolridge; he could be seen wavering, until the nutrients from a fizzy lemon iced lollypop allowed him a comeback streak with some truly formidable shots.


Hopkins used the terrain to his advantage and developed a backspin move which saw his boule stopping dead as if by magic, leading to a deserved win.
