The Las Salinas charity Mixed triples petanca competition was held at Westvilles on the 7th of September 2024, the well-groomed terrains were spacious with plenty of room for spectators! The competition was an astounding success, and the bar and barbeque were kept busy. Thank you to Jackie Lowton the competitions secretary for registrations and the organisation on the day. We had additional assistance from Maurice with the scoring as the results came in.
It was hot but we were provided with some shade from the trees and parasols. We had the same number of entries as our competition in March of this year. With 24 teams participating most wearing their team strip. It was only after a number of close games that the top slots were decided!
The top three teams were presented with a prestigious cup which will be inscribed with the winners’ names. This will be retained for a year and will continue to have inscriptions for the forthcoming competitions. All three top teams were given medals and wine as recognition of their success. The umpire of the day was Vicky Robinson the registration/Results secretary of the league.
The chosen charity for the Las Salinas league is the San Jose Obrero orphanage raising €485 on the day including the subscription fees and the tombola. The stall was run by the enthusiastic Jane and Vicky who were kept busy persuading people to part with their money! Thank you, ladies, for your efforts!
The WINNERS ON THE day with 4 wins were.
1st Mediterráneo Carine & Serge Cattazzo, Angel Panadero, Peter Seidel (4 wins +32)
2nd La Marquesa Claude Coulangeat, Jacqueline Triffet, Luc Keusters (4 wins + 22)
