21 June, 2025 – Vale Petanque Club
The Colin Ballett open doubles took place at the Vale PC on Saturday 21st June.
Twelve teams from across South-Wales took part in the annual event. During the morning pool session, play was intense and every point fought for despite a few unwelcome showers. The hot sun returned for the afternoon knockout sessions where the top 8 teams contested the Cup and the remaining 4 the Plate.
In the semi-finals of the Cup competition, Kate Price and David Paine, defending champions, defeated Len Field and Alvaro Saget while Sean Smith and Elijah Jeffers beat Kon Tomczyk and Bob Pugh.
The final was a very close game played in a good spirit with excellent skills displayed by both teams. Kate and Dave couldn’t hold on to their title and Sean and Elijah were worthy winners with a score of 13-11.
The plate competition was won by Jayne Dunne and Tansy Mayfield who defeated Janice Lee and Avril Collins 13-5.
Thank you to all the teams that took part and we hope to see you again next year.
