24 players, a nice day and the only one with 3 wins is Jan. Nigel & Cid were joint 2nd. Next monthly melee is February 5th. January result is also cumulative table.

Jane Guest was the winner of the Xmas jumper competition

A great result for a player whose petanque career only started this year. Next monthly melee is Sunday 8th January. Can Jane defend her title?

Sunday 4th December. Cold and wet and sunset at 3-46pm but 18 teams ate bacon sandwiches for breakfast, played all day in light showers and arctic winds and enjoyed themselves immensely for just a fiver each but unfortunately HPC teams didn’t get anywhere near the top places. Readers may not know some of the names who did make the top 3 places but they are all county level players for Yorkshire and Dag is the regional coach.

Having said that CAPS were holding 2 for the price of 1 at 10-10 but it slipped away in the last end and were 7-7 with @AK but couldn’t make it to 13.

Big Gs nearly won their last game of the day only losing 11-13.

Sunday 4th was the culmination of 6 months of monthly melees and it was damn close run thing. On the day only one person won all 3 games but a 3rd place secured the win for Jane. The trophy will be engraved and presented at a future date. It stays in the clubhouse and anyone can see all the previous winners’ names engraved on the base.

But over the 6 month season 48 players took part in the monthly melee and the cumulative table is below. 10 people didn’t trouble the scorers and the overall winner was not determined until the final boule was thrown on Sunday.

The next competition starts in January.
