Yesterday, Sunday 7 April, saw the biggest competition ever held at Monkstone Petanque Club – 68 boulers took part in the Open Doubles with all 16 lanes in use simultaneously for the first time.<\/p>\n

The rain promised for most of the day did not arrive until around 4pm much to the relief of everybody. We even had small glimpses of the sun.<\/p>\n

The competition format in the morning was 32 teams divided into 8 pools of 4 for a round-robin. After lunch, the top of each group went into the Gold elimination competition, second in each group to Silver, third to Bronze and fourth to Tin.<\/p>\n

The competition was fierce but friendly and whilst there were some expected winners there were others that came through to take a prize in their section of the competition. Special mention should be made of 9 year old Jack Harris who, partnering his father Richard, won the Bronze competition.<\/p>\n

Monkstone Petanque Club wishes thank all those supported the club by entering the competition and made it a truly memorable event.<\/p>\n
