Another successful “Over 70’s” friendly tournament was held at Kapiti Pétanque Club on Wednesday 6th November. Tournament started with 52 entries followed by 2 cancellations so Brian Frampton and Kath Alison agreed to enter, to make an even number of players and thus avoid a bye.
As the part of the mêlée, five games were played. The weather was good, although light rain began to fall towards the end of the day. All who played enjoyed their day and said what a great atmosphere there was. Laughter and joking could be heard coming from most pistes which was so good to hear.
The leading results were:
In her acceptance speech, Kath said she must have had some good partners. “Thank you to all as I won 5 out of 5 games, a surprise to me as I am not playing much these days.”
“Thank you to all who entered and we look forward to our next “Over 70’s” and hope to see some new players.”

Sunday morning saw the top sixteen qualifiers divided into four pools of four. The bottom nine qualifiers from Saturday played in a five round random-draw for the Bowl.

In the Trophy final, Myles Cowper, Nick Jegousse, and Michael Rocks repeated their 13-6 morning win against Christian Fouquet, David Lippard, and Dirk Winnie.
In the Plate final, Maurice Belz, Bob Bridge, and Lee Tafford also repeated their morning win against Clive Bartlett, Bill Peachey, and Ray Pierce.
