Boules Tournament

A colleague has posted photos from the annual St Mary's BBQ and Boules tournament. Seemingly the postgrads through quite a wrench (spanner) into the works by actually coming this year. The undergrads who kindly put on the event were seen running to Tesco for more food, and the tournament itself needed not just a new bracket, but a long round of prelims to eliminate players.

Unless you're from St Mary's you'll probably not recognize anybody in the pictures. I'm only in one, I think, which is fine with me. But you may be able to pick out Ian Bradley or Jim Davila or Mark Elliott. The faculty team beat both the undergrads and the postgrads. I think it's because they had more robes. The undergrads, being more experienced, knew this and planned for it. They lost probably because only half the team remembered to wear them.

See the photos here.
