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.

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.

 

Two players won all three games. They were Barrie and Robin. They also had the same points difference so were joint winners. They won an egg each. Sue was one of three players who won 2 games but had the best difference of them all.  The easter baskets raffle was also drawn and made a profit of £30 for club funds. Every player in the melee who didn’t win a prize won a Cadburys Creme Egg.
