Dream Match
Date: 04/12/11 4:58am
Location: Woolridge's subconscious.
Dangers & Annoyances: waking up / reality.
Match Results: D. Woolridge 1, B.Martin 0.
Match Report: taking place in a strange, twisted reality (but none less real) the game was played entirely with wooden jacks. In a Christmassy, lounge with seventies decor, Martin was reluctant to accept the challenge to Boule, knowing full well what a negative effect it would surely have on his current world ranking (number 1). When he reluctantly accepted the challenge, we battled the orbs down by the fireplace, Martin taking an early lead. Woolridge realised why this man was number one. Slowly Woolridge pulled it back until the scores were neck and neck. In one sweet overhand chuck. Woolridge grabbed the winning point (despite the confusion that came from all the boule being jacks). Sadly Woolridge then wakes up, shattering this fantasy world and his chance at the number one spot. Incredible!

Epic Battle
Date: 27/11/11
Location: SW4
Weather: Overcast with sunny intervals
Extreme Rating: * *
Consumables: Boule and coffee
Result: 1. D. Woolridge 223 points 2. T. Wort 198 points.
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...
Shot of the Day: Any one of the double kissers that were witnessed.

Result: 1. D. Woolridge 4 points 2 = G. Searle 3 points 2 = T. Wort 3 points

However it was Searle that won the admiration of Extreme Boule fans with his decision to play two extra rounds after the agreed finishing time, despite being in the lead. These two final rounds saw Woolridge take the lead and claim victory, leaving Searle to ponder what might have been.

Waterman Returns!
Date: 27th November
Location: London SW4
Weather: Fine and crisp
Extreme Rating: *
Danger and Annoyances: Time
Consumables: Sweet Tea.
Result: 1. R Waterman 8 points 2. D Woolridge 7pts 3. T Wort 6 pts 4. G Searle 3 pts
Match Report: On a fine November morning, R. Waterman, a veteran of the Extreme Boule scene, returned to the world championship. Having some of the finest Extreme Boule terrain outside his training camp in Edale, Waterman soon shrugged off the rustiness to outplay and out nerve three of the the current Top 5 players in the world. With a set end time of 10am, each boule played was smeared with tension, with the first recorded episode of High-Jacking. It all ended with Waterman sauntering off the pitch and back to the Peak District with a 4th place in the World Rankings and eye on the the number one spot. Incredible scenes!
