Experience and New Talent

Both Tansy Mayfield and Barbara Vaughan (late team change) previously represented Wales at the World and European Championships. Jayne Dunn has previously represented Wales at the European Championship Triples: Women.

Meanwhile, Kym Jeffrey will be making her first-ever World Championship appearance. For Kym, this event offers not only a challenge but also an opportunity to experience the excitement of competing at the highest level of pétanque.

The National Coach Jean-Yves Robic will be supporting the players.

A Continuing Journey for Wales

Wales first competed at a Women’s World Championship in Thailand in 2009 and has since made a consistent effort to take part in subsequent global tournaments. Their presence in Douai maintains Wales’ profile of Welsh women’s pétanque on the world stage.
