Peter Westall Cup - Venue Change
2026-06-14 | Harlequins Pétanque club, Cardiff Harlequins RFC, Diamond Ground, Cardiff, CF14 7JN
The WPA was informed shortly after 9 pm Thursday that, due to circumstances beyond the control of both Llandaff PC and the WPA, there would be a direct impact on the competition.
We have made the difficult decision to move this Sunday’s Peter Westall Open to Harlequin PC.
We wish to recognise the time and effort that many volunteers from Llandaff PC have put into the event. Hopefully, future events will again be hosted at their lovely venue.
