ACC Grass Roots club #314
Greetings fellow cribbage enthusiasts and welcome to the homepage of the Granite State Cribbers. Our club is an officially sanctioned Grass Roots club of the American Cribbage Congress (ACC) founded by our leaders and gracious hosts Daniel and Sheila Crete in 2004. Meets are held on most Wednesday evenings in Hudson, New Hampshire for nine games of cribbage.
Club members: If you have any suggestions for the webpage, place well in a tournament or have other noteworthy tidbits, please contact me at jrhatchjr@comcast.net or see me on Wednesdays - just bear in mind I'm an amateur webmaster :-)
Happy Pegging!

11/11/2009: Dave Statz gets hot
Though he got off to a slow start this Grass Roots season, the cards for Dave Statz might be turning around. This week Dave took first place by winning 6 games - but a whopping 4 by skunk - en route to a huge 16/6/+195 finish. The cards for Jim Hatch stayed hot again this week as he won 7 more games and pocketed second place with a 15/7/+107 score. Dan Crete also won 7 games of his own and ended the night with a nifty 14/7/+105 effort which was the best of the rest. Forth place was claimed by Greg Gougian with a 12/6/+69 tally while Paul Statz earned GRP by way of his 12/5/+105 score.
In other club news, the first round of the club's long match has concluded with Al Miller and Jim Hatch winning their respective brackets this week. The semi-final round matches will be:
Al Miller vs. Dan Crete
Jim Hatch vs. Terry Clark
11/4/2009: Jim wins 8 games again
Last week Jim Hatch came within one hole of getting a Grand Slam. Although he wasn't quite as close this week, Jim still blistered the boards and won 8 more games - losing his only game by 14 holes - and took top honors again with a 18/8/+126 finish. Jim's only loss was to new member Terry Gauthier who won 7 games of her own and pocketed second place with an excellent 15/7/+77 card. The show ticket was cashed by Joe Cucchi who returned to the club in fine fashion with a 14/7/+85 effort. Fourth place was claimed by Richard Kelliher with a solid 13/6/+48 score while fifth place went to Howard Garvin via his 12/6/-28 night. Dave Statz went his usual 5-4 but this time he picked up two skunks along the way to claim his first GRP's of the season by way of his 12/5/+92 card.
In other club news, Dan Crete showed his second 28 hand in the last three weeks! For those of you counting at home this was the FIFTH 28 hand scored by club members this season! The odds of getting one 28 hand are 15,028-1. Anyone care to guess what the odds are of five 28 hands being shown by club members in 10 weeks? Or by one person within three weeks? Whatever they are, Dan is once again congratulated for his doubly rare feat.
