Players from all over the county will be arriving early on sunday for a whole day of pétanque which will produce the Yorkshire Mixed Pairs champions. Because of this there will be no social play. It would be worth coming along for an hour or so to see some top players in action. Most of the players will be in the Yorkshire squad.

On Wednesday le cercle français de Huddersfield visited our terrain pour jouer un game of pétanque. There were douze players and after un spot de practice we played deux games and added up les scores. Quatre players had won both leur games and le winner was decided by points difference. C’etait une victoire for John.

Only 1 member won all 3 games – Brendan with 3 wins +23. joint 2nd were Kevin & Amanda with 2 wins +13 points.

Several members were in with a chance to win the Spring Melee and Kevin came through from previous 4th place and with his joint second on the June Melee achieved 28 points. This just pipped Maureen’s total of 27 points to win the Spring 2022 title.

21 people turned out for our Race Day, although it started off cloudy the sun came out and it was quite warm. We played a 3 round melee and the winners were 3rd place – Brendan 2nd place – Nell and the winner was Christine who were all presented with rosettes. We held a raffle which raised £41. Best dressed on the day were Graham and Claire who made a massive effort.
