Shotgun Pairs

Great afternoon of petanque playing our first ever ‘shotgun’ competition.
Started with an admin hiccup when the organiser tried to make 19 players into 17 doubles and 1 triples team and use an 18 team snake score sheet and then read out opponents for the first round. It wasn’t ’till I got to team 9 and realised they had no opponents that I realised I’d cocked up. Some teams had already chosen their piste!
Resolved fairly quickly once I realised what had happened with a redraw of 3 triples teams and 5 doubles teams. Did it that way rather than 1 triples and 8 doubles to avoid any bye’s being played.
Oh the joys of being the organiser! Everyone was very understanding and the only person upset by the fiasco was me!
So to the results:
2 teams scored no wins, 2 teams scored 1 win each. 2 teams scored 2 wins and 2 scored 3 wins
In 4th place and just missing out on the prize money with 2W + 3 were Robin, Rita and Maggie
In 3rd place with 2W + 8 were Sandra and David W – £4
Second with 3W + 20 were Phil and Richard – £6
And today’s winners, despite all the early aggravations, were Fred, Rita S and Roy with 3W + 24 pts. – £9

Shotgun Sunday tomorrow

You put your name in either the box labelled ‘Pointer’ or the one labelled ‘Shooter’ When all the entries are in the organiser will even up the entries so we have the same number in each box then draw one name from each box. That pair will then play together, in those roles, for all 3 rounds of the snake competition. If we have an uneven number of players one or maybe two teams will be triples. £1 p/p all returned as prize money.
Please turn up early!

League season starts

Today we went to Heckmondwike but it didn’t go well. They all played very well and we all played pretty badly. The result was a 5-0 win for Heckmondwike. No excuses – the better team on the day won the fixture.

Next week we have a bye and the following week we’re back in action at home on Tuesday 8th May at 1pm against Mirfield. Other result of the opening week was Leeds beating Mirfield 3-2.

St Georges Pairs

Only 6 teams today (where were you Huddersfield?) including two visitors from the other side of the hills. Joe and Paul are members of Trafford and hadn’t been playing long but put up a good performance ending up as winners.

None of the teams managed to win all their games so it was between the 4 teams who had won 2 games and points difference was going to decide it. It was very close but Joe & Paul had one more in the points difference column than Sandie & Marie and 4 more than Sue & Roy.

Well played Joe & Paul – hope to see you again. We’d love to come over and enter one of your events one day.
