England Juniors at the World Championships 2013

Forming part of the England Junior team and being named team captain & flag bearer for the tournament, our leagues own Lewis Fletcher ventured to Montauban, just north of Toulouse, France for the 2013 Junior World Championships. With French TV set up covering any match on Lane 3, the England Juniors were drawn in the opening round to face France B, the current European champions, with the match being televised online. Having established a 5-0 lead after 3 ends, the French then got their game together and turned the match around to win 13-5. The second round wasn't any easier either, with a strong Sweden team defeating our juniors by a 13-6 scoreline. Saturday morning started with us taking on Algeria, and with the time limit being reached as the scores were locked at 10-10, the Algerians took 3 on the next end to take the victory. Round four pitted England against the all-girl team representing Austria, and the juniors proved to be the better side and get their first win by 13-7. The teams fifth and final qualifying match was a tense affair with the time limit again being reached but a great carreau by Lewis and the Russians unable to point their last 3 boules in, England won by 10-8. The tournament then split with the top 16 going through to the main competition whilst the remaining teams competing in the Nations Cup. At this stage the competition becomes straight knock-out with no time limit. We were drawn to play Slovakia and an even tenser tactical game ensued reaching nearly 2 hours 30 minutes long before England finally gained a fortunate 13-12 win, after Slovakia missed a golden chance the previous end to win the match themselves. This third win meant the team were still in the competition come Sunday morning, where in the Last 8 we faced a good team in the form of Luxembourg. Unfortunately our luck finally run out and England eventually lost 13-5. The Lux team went on to beat Holland in the semi-finals before losing to Switzerland in the Nations Cup Final. The main World Championships was won by Thailand who beat Madagascar in the final. Lewis and the rest of the team won 3 out of their 7 matches, playing European and African teams and now Lewis will be working doubly hard to get into the 2014 England Junior team for the next European Championships, due to be held in Turkey.

Coastal League v Scotland

There may be an opportunity for the League to take a group of players up to Scotland for a two day trip with a one night stop-over at the end of the season, including a match against one of the clubs up there.

The trip would be similar to the Belgium/Holland trips in as much as we'd hire one, possibly two, mini-buses and travel up early on Day 1, have an overnight stop, play match on Day 2, with a return to Suffolk late that same day.

Costs would be a share of the minibus & petrol costs plus the cost of a room at a Travelodge or somewhere similar.

It's only in preliminary stages at the moment but if you'd be interested in partaking please let me know asap.

3rd Annual Moules & Boules, White Lion, Aldeburgh

Saturday 20th July

Fifteen teams battled out the running of the 3rd annual Moules & Boules Charity Pairs tournament, hosted by The White Lion Hotel, Aldeburgh.

The competition was open to everyone with entry fees being donated directly to the East Anglian Air Ambulance Fund and Aldeburgh United Charities Trust.

Using a format consisting of completing seven ends per match, every team played two qualifying matches with the best 8 teams progressing to the knock-out stages. From this process, the four semi-finalists consisted of Rob & Bev Wheeler (Wentworth Hotel Aldeburgh), Nick Holt & Ray Booth (Snape), Paddy Rosseau and Mark Adamson (Parrot & Punchbowl Aldringham) and Jeff & Jean Short (White Lion Aldeburgh & Hollesley Shepherd & Dog).

Jeff & Jean ended victorious in the Final over Rob & Bev, whilst Paddy & Mark gained third place overall in the 3rd/4th place play-off.

The Shorts became the third different pair to win this event and will be hoping to defend their title again next year when the competition hopes to expand to 32 teams.

Congratulations are in order

Unless there is a whole load of results that I haven't received backed at Petanque HQ, according to my reckoning and checking with the detailed info that is on the league table link, due to their 2-2 draw with the Crown Inn Snape last Sunday, the Parrot & Punchbowl have secured the 2013 Oyster Division title by virtue of being 5 points clear of both second and third place teams, with just two league matches left each in this division.

This will mean that as a divisional winner, the Parrot will be seeded somewhere between 1 and 9 and will not face another divisional winner in the First Round of the League Play-Offs in September.

Well done to Debbi and her team and the support that Sheila and the pub gives to the team.

Bit of a topsy-turvy weekend as three divisional leaders lost, two of them losing to the teams that were bottom of their respective groups at the time. The significant fact about the Dolphin Thorpeness losing was that they were the only team still in with a chance of finishing the league season with a full 100% record, as all the other divisional leaders have at least lost once or drawn in previous matches. Makes it all very interesting come the end of the season, when we move into the play-offs!!

Lewis makes Junior World Championship team

Junior World Championships, Montauban, France - August 29th to September 1st 2013

On Sunday 2nd June, at the Towers PC, Brentwood, our very own Lewis Fletcher was selected as part of the official England Junior team to compete at the Junior World Championships later this year near Toulouse in France.

The selection process was fierce and tension ran high as the coaches announced their final selection from amongst the 13 candidates that currently form part of the 2013 England Junior squad that the coaches have been working with since the start of this year.

Having tasted international experience last year with tournament trips to Luxembourg and Spain and a third ''cap'' when competing in the recent invite-only junior international competition in Holland during Easter, Lewis now will be competing amongst the worlds best junior players.

2013 League Tour to Belgium & Holland

2013 League Trip to Belgium & Holland - Friday 3rd May till Monday 6th May

A relatively decent set of results over our 3-match trip to the Continent, with many coming back determined to improve certain skills and aspects of their game.

However, it was a great success (a full report will be issued later) but in summary the results were as follows;

Friday evening 3rd May  v  PC Koksijde (Oostduinkerke) Belgium  - Lost 12 games to 9

Saturday afternoon 4th May  v  KYCN (Nieuwpoort) Belgium  -  Won 4 games to 3
(Thus re-claiming the INST Trophy, that was shared last year)

Sunday afternoon 5th May  v  CJB Middelburg Holland - Lost 16 games to 5


Outline plans have already been discussed for the 2014 trip, where we hope many more league players will join us on what is a good weekend of petanque.

Adnams Cup reminders

Just a few things to remember about the Adnams Cup matches....

(1) All First Round matches need to be completed by midnight April 21st

(2) If the match goes to 2-2, a fifth deciding game is required, exactly in the same format as if you were playing a League Play-Off match

(3) Ensure your Captain checks and updates their Adnams Cup spreadsheet, so you can keep track of who you play in the next round

(4) If matches are completed allowing you to know who you face in the next round of the Cup or Plate sections, then please make arrangements to play as soon as conveniently possible

Withdrawal of Turks Head Hasketon

It is disappointing to announce the withdrawal of the Turks Head Hasketon team from the Broadside Division, due to no-one being able to take over captaincy duties and difficulties with team numbers.

This withdrawal only affects Bramford Cock 2, Deben Vikings, Greyhound Pettistree, Hollesley Shepherd & Dog and Woodbridge Saxons, so please erase any match dates against Hasketon from your fixture list.

The La Tete Du Turc Hasketon side remains intact.

2013 Captains Info Pack

Earlier this evening and ''hot off the press'' the 2013 Adnams Coastal Petanque League captains and vice-captains (all 84 of them!!), received the 2013 Captains Handbook, Team Directory, Divisional Allocation sheet, Blank Scorecard Template and Knock Out Cup Chart, all via email.

If you are a competing 2013 player, make sure you get in touch with your Captain to get your copy of the fixture list as soon as possible.

Remember, the first round of league matches is scheduled for Sunday March 17th.

Captains Meeting 2013

Now had it officially confirmed, this years Captains Meeting will once again be held at Huntingfield Village Hall on Friday 8th February 2013.

Please arrive for 7.30pm, so that we can make a start at around 8pm.

Note that you only need send your Captain or a team representative.

We will discuss divisional groupings, rules, Knock Out Cup, Belgium trip, dates for your diaries etc.

Thursday 31st January - Last Day to Enter

This is the last reminder to get your Application Forms and Fees in for the 2013 Adnams Coastal Petanque League, with all applications needing to have been received by midnight Thursday 31st January.

If you are posting, your envelope needs to be postmarked with the date of 31st January on it. Any entries after this date WILL NOT be accepted.

Currently we have 46 team applications, with 3 more already in the post/en-route.

All teams who have their applications rejected, will receive their refund cheques during the course of next week.

Associate Membership of the League

There is the opportunity for teams that don't want to take part in the League programme but would like to enter our Knock-Out Cup competition only, that we are offering Associate Membership, at a cost of £5 per team.

For this you will still receive the full Captains Directory for 2013, all the e-mailed newsletters, league tables, invites to Coastal League events and at least 2 competitive matches (see other article regarding 2013 KO Cup for further details on this).

The Captains Directory will give teams who take on Associate Membership, all the contact details of other Coastal teams, allowing them to arrange friendly matches etc to suit their playing wants and availability.

As with 2013 League entries, Associate Membership is only available until 31/1/13.

If you need more details on Associate Membership, please e-mail the League Co-Ordinator.

2013 Knock Out Cup PLUS....

Many of the teams who have already applied to enter our 2013 season have indicated that they would like to take part in the Knock Out Cup competition, which will run alongside the main league programme.

The Knock Out Cup gives teams the potential opportunity to play other teams that they wouldn't normally face during a normal league season and also will help teams prepare themselves should they get to the League Play-Offs, as they will have then experienced ''sudden death'' matches, as there can be no drawn matches in the Cup, exactly like the Play-Offs themselves.

(Please note that as the Cup draw is completely random, you could yet be drawn against a team from your own division, we cannot guarantee otherwise).

As we have 27 teams already proffering their willingness to compete, we will also run a Plate competition as well, whereby all the First Round losers in the Cup, will get a second bite of the cherry by then being placed into a knock-out Plate with all the other First Round losers.

This should mean (excluding any teams that could get awarded a bye due to numbers), that all teams should get a minimum of two knock-out matches, ie 1 Cup then 1 Plate or 2 Cup (if you win your First Round match).

2013 League - Entry Deadline

Applications to enter the 2013 Adnams Coastal Petanque League must be received by the League Co-Ordinator by Thursday 31st January at the very latest.

The current cost to register a team is £20 for the entire season and you have the option to decide whether to enter our Knock Out Cup competition at no extra cost.
