On a very bleak, very wet and extremely windy day we found ourselves at the inaugural Presentation of Awards ceremony of the Torrevieja Fun in the Sun (FITS) Petanca League and Cup.
More than 100 hardy souls gathered together to share in the finale of this very successful first season, and not a dampened spirit in sight!
Following the increasing interest in the sport of petanca (particularly in the Alicante /Orihuela Costa area) this new league – Torrevieja (FITS) – was established in September 2024. The first (Winter) season attracted 15 teams, and approximately 250 players. It’s been a very successful start and one which the League hope’s to expand on and continue its growth – read on for results!
Applications from other petanca teams to join the league are open and encouraged. Any team interested in joining the league should contact Colin Kernahan at jdssportsbar@gmail.com
If you’re an individual interested in taking up the sport of petanca, come along to the club at Domino’s Bar at Calle Maladeta, 24-38, 03185, and participate in one of the regular Saturday morning ‘Open’ competitions, which get underway at 10am. They’re held almost all year round and no experience is required. Balls are available to those who don’t own their own, and new friendships and a sporting day out are guaranteed!
Petanca is a fun, competitive and inclusive sport, which Torrevieja FITS hopes to promote and continue to grow. The league plays its matches on Fridays and the year is split into a Winter League, which generally runs from September to the beginning of March, and a shorter Summer League, from April to June.
It’s a hard fought, but not overly physically demanding sport, and is therefore very inclusive of competitors of all physical abilities. It’s also formed many lifelong friendships as the nature of the game brings people of all backgrounds and abilities together, to socialise through sport.
If you’re an individual who’s always wanted to ‘have a go’, or a team interested in joining this new league, come along to the club where a warm welcome awaits you.
