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
