Bocci Ballin'....

Stellar shotmaking in both the semi-final and final matches of the annual Southington Rotary Bocci Challenge propelled the Bocci Ballers, John Kennedy/Ginny Roy/Donnn Reilly/Bill DeFeo (Dave Maloney filling in for Bill in team picture))to the 2006 Championship at the pristinely manicured Fran Massucci Bocci Emporium Wednesday evening. The Ballers derailed a gritty, but overmatched Ryan's Express (John Ryan/Elaine Maloney/Judi Miceli/Chuck Miceli)in the finals. In the 'final four' matches, Ryan's Expresss outdueled the Great Pretenders (Art Blumer/Sandi Blumer/Dan Daigle/Chet Potrepka), while the Bocci Ballers spanked the E-Z Riders (Trish Walden/George Gorecki/Dennis Kane/Joe Depaolo).

Unfortunately, there was no trophy presentation, usually the highlight of the evening, because last year's winners (and you know who you are, Rod Greaves)LOST THE TROPHY!

Thanks to Elaine Maloney/Judy Miceli for coordinating the event and, of course, to Fran Massucci for being the very best of hosts. - Pictures

2005 Bocci

2004 Bocci

Our annual Bocci Night at Fran Massucci's Bocci Emporium.

Bocci Night attendees were treated to world-class steaks grilled to perfection by chefs Tom McKnerney and Fran Massucci. Add to that picnic chairperson Helen Archangelo's "potato salad for 550 people", a glass of beer/wine/soda/water, witty conversation, Dr. John in the background and you have a very nice start to the festivities.

Helen Archangelo/Audrey Brown opted out of the bocci competition with curious back ailments. John Ryan left early to attend a 'meeting.'

The Greavous Faults pose smugly after upsetting the two-time defending champion Bocci Ballers. The Faults are: Mike Mathi...whatever Ginny Roy Team Captain Rodney Greaves a guy named Joe
