It was a cold and wet day, but there was plenty of Christmas cheer for our Christmas Doubles Competition.
It was fantastic to see everyone in their festive outfits, and there were some brilliant efforts, but the obvious winner of the day was Brian, complete with Father Christmas riding a reindeer – which ended up very soggy by the end of the day and must have been difficult to play in!
A huge thank you to everyone who donated prizes or bought raffle tickets. We raised £190 for club funds, which will help maintain the pistes and buy essential equipment.
Of course, it was all about the boules, and there were some great games played despite the weather and the puddles.
Each pair played five rounds, with the top three pairs determined by wins plus score difference. There was even a one-end play-off for 3rd place as Linda & Ben and Dan & Jack finished on the same score.
Results
1st Place: Dave & Linda – Rochdale

3rd Place: Linda & Ben – Rochdale
Thank you to everyone who braved the weather, and special thanks to Dave & Linda for putting up the marquees to keep us dry, and to Ian for running the whole day.
Rochdale Pétanque would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
