We performed well and made it to the final four were we beat Rochdale Pétanque to bring home the bronze medals! In second place were home team Rochdale‘s Milton but overall winners taking gold and the Rochdale Cup were Trafford Pétanque. Many thanks to Chris of Pétanque North West for organising and running the event.
