The Wheatsheaf Petanque Club (PC) hosted this years President’s Cup, which saw three members of the club compete in the semi-finals. Both Roger and Barney, together with Jake Caston from the Wheatsheaf PC won through to take one of the top four places to play for the Cup. The star player of the day was Rosie, who with Bill Davies (Wenvoe PC) and Gay Evans (Monkstone Inn PC) also won through to the semi-finals, without dropping a game.
The first semi-final drew Roger and Barney against Rosie, unfortunately, for Roger and Barney, Rosie’s team won through to take a place in the final. Both Bill and Rosie pointed exceptionally well, which caused their opposition difficulties.
In the final Rosie’s team came up against a very strong team of Jessie Lepitz-Robic (Penarth PC), Ian Bailey (Monkstone Inn PC) and Kon Tomczyk (Caerleon RFC PC) who took the title. However, well done Roise on her first solo competition.
All the games were played in arctic conditions and everybody should be congratulated in getting out of their warm beds to make the trip and help to make a good competition.
