Tuesday 25th July.

Huddersfield won through by the narrowest of margins against Heckmondwike in the cup semi-final. In the triples Huddersfield women had a comfortable 13-3 win, whilst the men suffered a crushing defeat, with Clive from Heckmondwike playing a flawless game.

So, to the doubles, in which Nell and Phil had to face Clive and Alma, who won easily.

At 2-1 down, Huddersfield needed to win both remaining doubles matches. Thanks to Brendan and Margaret, Roy and Moira (who played the shot of the match (if not her lifetime)) HPC triumphed 3-2 overall.

And so to our second cup final in two years… It will be on August 22nd at a neutral venue. We’re waiting for the result of the second semifinal. We’ll keep you posted.

Wednesday 19th July. There were 8 HPC members out of the 19 that attended at this event just north of York. Nell, Carol, Robin, Rita, Nigel, Maureen, Sandy and Sue C. Nigel was the only player to win all 4 games and was the overall winner on the day then Robin won 3 to be second. There were also many raffle prizes for HPC. Apart from one heavy shower it stayed fine for us and we really enjoyed the day. Thanks to Nell & Nigel for driving. We’re hoping to go again on Wednesday the 16th August

For those who don’t know this is regular event at Stockton on the Forest Petanque club (known as Stockton Fox) in summer. It’s 4 games with random draw for partners every round. Most players are social players but now and again there is a county level player. There’s a raffle and £4 entry fee with free drinks all day and small cash prizes. Ask someone who went about it. Corrected 27 July after finding out details from someone who actually went there.

After a hard fought competition Maureen has been awarded the prestigious Champion of Champions trophy 2022.

The competition results are from an accumulation of scores from the monthly club Melees’ and the 5 qualifying events played throughout the year. Well done also to our runners up Brendan and Sue C.

Following our Monthly club Melee rounds the next qualifying event will be the Club triples competition to be played May 21st.
