I made sure I got there in time (7.45am), for that I had to get up at 6.30am, (Rita)

 

At Herne Bay Pétanque Club Salisbury Reserve, Herne Bay, Auckland, NZ

Friday 28 January – terrains available for practice all day

 

TOURNAMENT FORMAT: Day 1, All Teams play 6 games (Timed) from a random draw. (5 games would have been sufficient, (Rita)

This format did not sit well with me, one and a half hours were allowed for each game, and this meant 9 hours of play if they were all on time.  All of the teams had to wait until the last game was finished before the next round could commence.  By 12pm we had only played 2 games!!!  The days play finished at around 6 or 7 pm.  Luckily next day the games were not timed and seemed far more relaxing and enjoyable then the first day of play.  (Rita).

 

  

Christine (white top) & Ann (red Top)

 

We had mixed results for the few members of our Cockle Bay Petanque Club who took part in the biggest event on the Auckland Region Petanque calendar.

Ann (Cockle Bay) & Christine (Northcote) were the winners of the Ladies’ Doubles Bowl.   Rita & Jenny (Cockle Bay ) were eliminated after the second round of day 2 competition.

Rita & Jenny made a good start on day one, they had one spectacular win on the first day at their first game.

Their very first opponents were Joanne Lippard  & Sharon Cannon.

After a deluge of rain overnight from cyclone Wilma the terrain worked in the Cockle Bay’s team favour and the terrains were still wet when play began,  Joanne & Sharon played well but the wet conditions made their shots miss its target,  the terrain conditions suited Rita & Jenny’s play which resulted in a 13-11 win for the Cockle Bay team, unfortunately it was their only win of the whole tournament!!
