The first Leg at Monkstone before Christmas was a very tight affair with Caerleon leading by 2 points at the end. It seemed that there was all to play for and Monkstone were optimistic of wresting the cup back from Caerleon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On a fine but blustery day things didn&#8217;t quite turn out as might have hoped. I was going to point out the highlights but there weren&#8217;t many other than the excellent pointing from Sharon who was a late replacement for Vickie who was not well. In the opening singles, which she had never played competitively before, she took Tansy Mayfield to the wire before going doe 11-13 at the end.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So its just well done to the few Monkstone winners and congratulations to Caerleon, winners overall by 75pts to 39, in retaining the cup for another year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5841\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monkstonepetanque.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2nd-Leg-Scores-Result.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1353\" height=\"976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.monkstonepetanque.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2nd-Leg-Scores-Result.jpg 1353w, https:\/\/www.monkstonepetanque.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2nd-Leg-Scores-Result-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.monkstonepetanque.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2nd-Leg-Scores-Result-1024x739.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.monkstonepetanque.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2nd-Leg-Scores-Result-768x554.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1353px) 100vw, 1353px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2nd Leg of the annual winter friendly took place at Caerleon on Sunday 9 February.
