Monkstone Pétanque Club

“Three Monkstone teams entered the Over 55s competition held at Wenvoe on a clear but chilly day:

————————————————–

Monarchs – Roger, Barney and Mike Jones;

Marauders – Wiggy, Norman and Peter;

Minotaurs – Bernard, Vickie and Keith.

————————————————–

By the end of the morning’s play, the Marauders had unfortunately failed to qualify for the afternoon’s top 8 knock-out but Bernard’s Minotaurs were one of only two teams that had won all their games. The Monarchs qualified in fifth place.
In the quarter-finals the Minotaurs lost 8-13 to last year’s winners, Age Concern, while the Monarchs beat Tortolla 13-1 to earn a semi-final tie against Age Concern. In a very tight game, the Monarchs emerged the victors, winning 13-9.
In the final the Monarchs faced KPB (Barbara Vaughan, Kon Tomczyk and Phil Bradshaw) but were outplayed, losing 5-13. KPB will now be invited to represent Wales in the Over 55s European Championship in Sweden in June.”
