2024 SEASON BOCCE NEWS

2024 Tony Fava Bocce League Finale

The 2024 Cross Creek Bocce league came to a conclusion on Saturday March 23^rd. The Championship round was in jeopardy due to heavy rains the day before but when the sun came up the clouds broke and the sun shone. Eight teams (two from each division) competed for the coveted trophy. Each match was contested with the final two teams from the Monday Division. Neither had faced off against each other during league play. The match was very thrilling with back-and-forth points being scored. In the end it was Team # 6 defeating Team # 14 in a score of 16 to 15. The winning team consisted of: Bill Chandler, Debbie Chandler, Sue Woodard and Craig Woodard. The runner up team consisted of: Randy Thomas, Gigi Thomas, Ray Thompson, Joanne Thompson (first timers this year).

Immediately following the Championship match the annual Bocce Banquet was held in the main dinning room of the clubhouse. The attendance this year was 124 people. That appears to be an all time high. Just before the luncheon stated the winners were presented their well-deserved trophies. This year we had 68 teams competing over four days on a ten-week schedule. This year many associations within Cross Creek held their own Bocce tournaments. It is certainly nice to see all this activity going on in our vibrant community.   Next year Bocce leagues will start on Monday January 6^th and end with our annual Banquet March 22nd. Thanks to all who have made this year another successful season of Bocce in Cross Creek. If you are interested in playing Bocce at Cross Creek, please contact me at 612-206-6965.
