After the 3 round snake The Dolphins (David & Pauline)  and The Beeches (Sandra & Geertje) shared 4th place on 2W + 2 and won their entry fee back ie £4 each team
In 3rd place were Maureen and Sandie with 2W +12 who won £5
Only two teams won all 3 games in the snake – Trafford 1 (Aly & Chris) with 3W + 18 and Rhythm & Soul (Roy & Sue) with 3W +29!
Rhythm & Soul were helped to their +29 by scoring  a maximum 6 TWICE during the snake rounds! Following the raffle draw these 2 teams played a final game.
Trafford started well gaining 5 points in the first end but Huddersfield  replied with 4 points in the second end. The next few ends were close but R&S gained the upper hand and emerged victorious with a win to 10.

Charity event launched

Last week at the AGM and in the following week the club has been advertising its Charity event via many media channels. The idea is simple. Organisations in Huddersfield enter a boules competition and pay an entry fee of £30 which all goes to charity. Teams play in small leagues to find the top 4 who play semis and finals on Bak Holiday Monday in late August. There is a consolage prize for those who don’t end up in the top 4 teams and the best 4 in the consolage also play at finals day.

Any organisation can enter a team. Look at https://boulesbash.wordpress.com for more information in particular the full rules.

We need to have about 16 teams enter to make it viable. Entries close end of May and the games are played at Greenhead Park during June and July.

Harrogate 9 – 7 Huddersfield

Sunday 30th was our trip to Harrogate to play them on their terrain. It was a big difference from ours. Only 4 pistes and very close to the main road but on the other hand quite close to the world renowned Betty’s Tea rooms.

The terrains are mixed but generally had larger stones but all 4 had its own character and each team played on all 4. We played 4 games of 4 rounds and at the end it was a narrow win for the home team. The points difference was only 6 points and there were a few 13-12 games that could have gone either way.

There will be a return later in the summer.

Elizabeth podiums for Huddersfield

8 members went to Stockton today for an all day melee. Some didn’t justify their seeding but both Roy and Elizabeth won 4 out of 5 games. Only one player won all 5 and that was Malcolm from Bridlington who took away first prize. Richard also of Bridlington was second and Elizabeth was 3rd placed player out of 40 who took part with 4 wins and a points difference of +20. Experienced petanque watchers will have Malcolm and Richard down as very experienced good quality players. Elizabeth is now in good company.
