Monthly Melee
32 players on a lovely sunny day. 44 people have taken part in this competition since July. Some haven’t troubled the scorer but in December the final table will list everyone.
Bridlington Weekend
3 days of petanque with a different competition each day over the bank holiday weekend.
There were 22 pairs entered on Saturday. Brendan and Nell achieved a brilliant 3rd place. Pete & Margaret had 12th place with 2 wins, Robin & Rita 14th with 2 wins and Mike & Moira also had 2 wins & 18th place.
22 Mixed Pairs on Sunday and Robin & Rita took 7th place with 3 wins. Didier & Dominique a marqué 2 victoires pour 12eme. Pete & Margaret 14th. Brendan & Nell 16th place. Team Farnley made 19th.
Monday’s Triples only had 14 entries. Brendan & Nell teamed up with a player from another club and won 2 games but only placed 13th. This shows is that HPC teams can compete at regional level.
West Yorks Cup Final
The final of the West Yorkshire Cup on Tuesday 22nd August was a re-run of last year’s final, and with the same result: a 3-2 win to Leeds.
HPC women won their triples match after the agony of going from 11-0 up to 12-12. Our mens’ triple team lost in a hard-contested match. In the mixed pairs, Brendan and Nell won.
All we can do is vow to re-double our efforts to build the squad and train hard for the 2024 summer season.
