Up and Coming Competitions

9 February 2014 / / No comments

March sees the start of the new competition year and there are a number of competitions worth considering by members of our club.

Sunday 2nd March, the President’s Cup, this is an open triples competition to be hosted by the Wheatsheaf PC. Provided that the weather is reasonable it should be a good days play.

Sunday 16th March, Stuart Clarke Cup, this is another open triples competition to be hosted by Wenvoe PC. This was won by a team with Roger and Barney last year, let’s try and keep it in our club for 2014.

Sunday 23rd March, National Veterans (Over 55) Championship to be hosted again by Wenvoe PC. The winners of this competition will we invited to play in the European Championship in June.

I strongly recommend that as many teams possible enter these competitions, it will be good practice for the league.

Election of Team Captains – The 2014 Season

1 February 2014 / / No comments

The Monkstone Petanque club held their annual general meeting last Wednesday in which they bid farewell to their outgoing Club Captain Jim Harrison. Under Jim’s leadership the club’s top side, the Monkstone Monarchs, remained firmly in the first division, with both the second division sides, the Marauders and the Minotaurs, continuing to succeed and get ever-closer to promotion themselves.

The club’s executive have decided that Jim’s role of Club Captain is to be split between three team Captains for the 2014 season. Paul Milton is to Captain the Monkstone Marauders with Bernard Adshead taking control of the Minotaurs. Finally, Tony Smith will Captain the Monarchs.

It is hoped that this new approach will ensure strong performances by all three teams in the 2014 season and we wish Paul, Bernard and Tony the best of luck.
