Today, Rochdale P\u00e9tanque was proud to host the P\u00e9tanque North West Veterans Doubles Competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven teams took part in a round-robin format, with each team receiving one bye round. With the pistes selected at random, it was anyone\u2019s guess how the different terrains would suit each player, making for some very interesting and challenging games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, the standard of play was extremely high. The tension in some matches was even higher, as every team battled for each point. There was precision pointing, excellent teamwork and some amazing shooting, with players hitting their targets time after time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, there could only be three placed teams, with the top two qualifying for the P\u00e9tanque England Champion of Champions event at Lordswood P\u00e9tanque Club in Kent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1st place: Ian & Fran\u00e7ois – Rochdale – 5 wins<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2nd place: Neil & Paul – Trafford – 4 wins and +30 points<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3rd place: Dave & Linda – Rochdale – 4 wins and +14 points<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well done to all the winners and everyone who took part in another fantastic day of competitive p\u00e9tanque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A massive congratulations to Ian and Fran\u00e7ois on taking first place, and to both qualifying teams. We wish you the very best of luck at the Champion of Champions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Mike for running the event so smoothy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
