Residents win Annual Riderwood Residents vs. Staff Bocce game

Four teams competed against one another at this year's annual Riderwood Residents vs. Staff Bocce game on Riderwood's Bocce Courts.

Silver Spring, MD, -- Four teams competed against one another at this year's annual Riderwood Residents vs. Staff Bocce game on Riderwood‘s Bocce Courts.

"It was a heated competition between the rival groups, each trying their best to shift control of the games," said Avedis Aghguiguian, CTV Coordinator, Riderwood. "There were plenty of close calls, forcing those judging the matches to measure which bocce balls were closest to the yellow pallino. It was once again a great event."

Though the staff teams gave it their all this year, it was the residents who came on top, winning both games 10 – 3 and 10 -7.
