2022 Home Nations
The Scottish Petanque Association hosted the 2022 Home Nations Championship at the Troon Petanque Club, located at Marr Rugby Club, over the weekend of the 13th/14th of August.
The Welsh Squad travelled north, knowing they had a real challenge with an unbeaten England. Jersey and Scotland viewed the challenge similarly; therefore, a cracking competition lay ahead.
Unfortunately, the English juggernaut could not be stopped, and again they retained the trophy. However, the battle for the second position ensued, and a close-fault contest ensued between the remaining three associations. Unfortunately for Wales, who finished on the same number of wins as Jersey, was pipped at the post into third place due to a points difference.
The final results were as follows:
