8 June, 2025 – City of Llandaff Petanque Club

The 2025 Peter Westall Cup brought together 20 top-tier doubles teams from across Wales for a thrilling day of pétanque action.

All 20 teams played three randomly assigned rounds in the qualification phase during the morning session. Points and wins determined the ranking from 1st to 20th, setting the stage for the next phase of the competition.

John Legge and Phil Bradshaw led the standings in commanding fashion, going undefeated with three wins and earning 24 points to secure the top seed. Close behind were Richard Harris and Tansy Mayfield (3 wins, 18 points), followed by Nigel Tidball and Paul Jeremy (3 wins, 12 points), and Sean Smith with Garry Griffiths (3 wins, 12 points), rounding out the top four.

The top 8 teams advanced to the Peter Westall Cup knockout competition, which kicked off with high-stakes quarterfinals leading up to the final match.

Teams ranked 9th to 16th entered the Silver competition, a knockout contest that mirrored the format of the main event and offered a second chance for glory.

Finally, the bottom four teams moved into the Bronze competition, beginning directly with semi-finals, followed by the final.

Below is the final ranking for the 20 teams:

The final results of the qualification round highlighted some unexpected results, with several teams failing to make it into the top eight. Len Field and Jean-Yves Robic (Vale PC) could only manage one win, 2 points, leaving them in 10th position. However, the biggest surprise was last year’s pairing of John Attfield and Stewart Spencer (Pontyclun PC), who won the trophy but only managed one win, -8 points, giving them 14th place.
