The club’s Autumn Mixed Doubles League ended on 1st November. There were 12 teams in total who entered but unfortunately due to illness one team had to withdraw. This meant the remaining 11 teams had to play a total of 10 games each and everyone completed all of their games on time.

 
A win earned 3 points and 1 point for a loss. The overall winners were the team with the most points and in the event of a tie the highest match points difference.

 
No team remained undefeated throughout the league but with only one defeat in 10 games Jill Gebbett & Clifford Conway were worthy winners amassing 28 out of a possible 30 points. Their only defeat was against the 2nd place pairing of Janice Doherty & David Alfred who achieved 8 wins, 26 league points and the highest points difference of +49. Their 2 defeats were against the eventual 3rd place pairing of Ann Wordsworth & Tony Mann and a surprise 2-13 defeat against Dona & Max Crisfield.

The final league table is as follows :-

If you have entered into any pétanque competitions outside of BHPC then it would be great to include a mention of it in our newsletters. Write a short piece on your experience and email, post or hand it to Tony Mann for inclusion.

This was the club’s final all-day competition of the year and despite a grey and drizzly morning a very respectable 22 members competed.
In this competition everyone gets to play with someone different in each round. The first round was an open public draw using the familiar BHPC bingo machine. The next rounds were also random draws but ensuring that the team formations werem always different. With 22 players taking part for each round there were 4 doubles matches and 1 triples match. This negated any need for byes throughout the day.

There were 3 rounds in the morning before a break for lunch. At the end of the morning session only three players had achieved 3 out of 3 wins and these were David Alfred, Fergal Hogan & Tony Mann. Read the rest of this entry »
