“The Monkstone Pétanque Club fielded three teams for the President’s Cup on the 2nd of March 2014. Despite the pouring rain and bitter wind all three of the Monkstone’s teams (The Minotaurs, Marauders and the Monarchs) reached the semi-final of the Plate.
However, The Monkstone Marauders (John Barnes, Peter Kensett and Jim Harrison) managed to progress to the final to meet the Dambusters. By this time the rain had approached near monsoon conditions and both teams agreed to play one boule each to decide. Sadly the victory went to the Dambusters! Well done to them!
What could have been a great day was sadly spoilt by the weather. The result was nevertheless a good one for the team!”
