Petanque 'Ashes' played out at Bramford Cock

Monday 3rd September
Bramford Cock Public House

6 members of local league members, the Bramford Cock plus Simon & Lewis Fletcher took on a visiting couple from the Capital Petanque Club, Canberra in Australia yesterday evening.

Jean & Barry Lambert were staying with relatives in the village and got in touch with us via our website. A few e-mails backwards and forwards and an evening of games and new friendships ensued.

Home players Alan, Debbie and Edward were up first but lost 13-10. Parity was restored in the next game as Robin, Anne & Dick restored English pride with a 13-6 victory, leaving Simon & Lewis the 'glory' of the deciding game, which went to the home country by a similar 13-6 scoreline, giving England the 2-1 ''Ashes'' triumph.

Gifts were exchanged between our Australian visitors and ourselves as Jean and Barry were made Honorary Members of the league and then taken indoors for a rural pub experience!!

Tattingstone Wheatsheaf Annual Pairs - RESULTS

The 2nd annual Tattingstone Wheatsheaf Pairs tournament was held on Saturday 1st September, with 8 participating teams playing for nearly 6 hours.

Host venue team members Airavata & Sesa co-ordinated the 8 teams into 2 groups of 4, with each team in a group playing the other 3 teams in their group. At the end of that the group winners played the other groups runners-up in the semi-finals.

The semi-finals were:

Paul & John (Wheatsheaf) defeating Mike & Martha Rios-Hall (La Tete Du Turc Hasketon)

Simon & Donna Fletcher (NOVICE) (Ipswich) defeating Airavata & Sesa 13-0 (in just three ends, the minimum number of ends you can ever win a game by!!)

So the Grand Final saw Paul & John take on Simon & Donna in a real ding-dong battle, with the host team eventually winning 13-12

The 3rd/4th Place Play-Off, which ended at around 7pm, saw Sesa & Airavata also win 13-12 against Mike & Martha.


All proceeds from the day, including the fabulous raffle, raised £81 for the St Elizabeths Hospice
