12 -1 down and still managed to win
I was playing in a melee yesterday and had a decent player and we were against two very strong players. With me pointing and him being arrogant we found ourselves in deep trouble at 12 - 1 down. I asked to switch and after a little discussion where I pointed out it couldn’t get any worse and he was missing loads he agreed to swop.
Slowly we started to come back, one point at a time with me hitting boule after boule and getting lots of carreau.
The fun part was when we won our second point to make it 12 -2 I remarked “pas morte” which was greeted with immense hilarity by everyone watching and the players.
It came down to the last boule every end, time after time I had to play a miracle and I managed to pull it off each end.
Every time we won another point I said the same thing…..pas morte.
The next thing it was 12 - 12 and we had a large crowd as we were holding up the entire melee.
I had a situation where they were lying 3 after a dodgy cochonnet movement and there was no feasible way I could beat 2 of the points.
So I lobbed onto the jack and moved it to our boule and we won the game!
The crowd at this point went crazy.
This melee happens every week with over 100 players turning up and it was a very memorable game.
It’s never over until someone hits 13!
Do you have any similar stories?
