Open Doubles Competition - 24th. August 2010
We held the competition as a way of introducing newcomers to the game and to the club and we were delighted that 18 teams decided to participate and enjoy the BBQ. Many thanks and congratulations to Alan for persevering against some difficulties and putting a successful event together.
The early rounds were played on a league basis with the top two teams going into the main competition and the rest went into the plate event which was sponsored by Tony Martin of TM Glazing Services, and won by the "Old Gits".
SEMI-FINALS
Rowland Jones and Max Boyce (Brown Jug) beat Chris Apps and Mark Coucher (Brown Jug)
Pat and Bob Philpott (Share and Coulter) beat Barbara and Mike Sharrett (Old Sheaf)
FINAL
Rowland Jones and Max Boyce beat Pat and Bob Philpott 13-12 in an excellent game, worthy of any final.
We were very pleased with the response to this year's event and we're looking forward to making this a regular fixture on the petanque calendar.
