Club Pairs Champions are…
Alasdair & Yvonne
The club’s 2019 Pairs competition took place on Sunday June 30th. Members played a 3 round snake. After round 1 everyone enjoyed a break for Strawberries and Prosecco! After 3 rounds only one team had won all 3 games and were the clear winners. This was Alasdair and Yvonne playing as the Hibernators. In second place on 2W +13 were Sandra B and Malcolm, team name A.N.Other, and with 2W + 10 to get third place were Maureen and Richard playing as Jammy Dodgers.
As Easy as…
On a Saturday there was different format for a change. 10 teams of triples from around the region had entered an all day 123 event. Each team played 8 games but each player only played 5. This included singles. It was strange format not well understood at the beginning but people gradually worked it out.
Good news was that it all went smoothly and finished around 4 after a 1030 start and the winning team had 2 HPC members in it. The second place had 3 HPC members. Read a longer report at Huddersfield 123 event.

Crystal Maze
Roy, Paul & Brendan entered the London Petanque Club Crystal Palace event in early June. It had 128 teams from all over Europe and most of them were very very good.
We played a team of French giants in our 3rd game. They were 6 ft 5, 6 ft 7 & 6 ft 8. They were a family who came from a village in the Dordogne and I asked them when we met how they had grown so tall. The answer was “Eating Duck and truffles”. They beat us but I took a fantastic photo. See more about the event by clicking on this link…crystal
