Played at Park Avenue
The inaugural WPA Women's Doubles and Triples tournament were held at the Park Avenue Petanque club over the weekend.
Although pétanque is a mixed sport in New Zealand, the two women's only events were primarily held to encourage more women into entering tournaments in the Wellington region.
Next year the biennial Oceania Championship will be held in NZ with separate Men's and Women's competitions. By staging a series of women only tournaments, it is hoped that the Wellington players will gain an advantage when the first selection camp is held next month in Rotorua.
