Monkstone Pétanque Club

In glorious sunshine in Carteret, Normandy, the Coupe Rondreux doubles concours was held on 26 July 2014. Twenty two pairs including Monkstone club’s Vickie & Bernard Adshead (the only non-French pair) played out a hard fought competition over 4 rounds. The Monkstone pair started slowly losing to 1 and 3 but having got the feel of the piste and the measure of their French opponents took the remaining games to 8 and 11 ensuring a finish just in the top half of the table and winning 2 bottles of Cote du Rhone.
