The club has arranged for Dag Nygaard, regional coach to hold a training/coaching session on Tuesday 28th June at 1000.

Anyone can attend. If you are a member of Yorkshire Pétanque it will be free. If you’re not it will be £3. 

It will not be a “How to play” session like Boule School. It will be a “How to shoot and advanced techniques” session.

A list will be put on the noticeboard in the clubhouse shortly

Winners on the day were Dag and Liz Nygaard with Julia and Alan second. HPC teams were 4th (well done Brendan & Nell) 5th (well done Robin & Rita), 8th and 9th. Well done Mark, Cathy, Graham, Claire and Jane who came along to spectate. A good day of petanque.

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.
