Under clear skies on 27^th May, 18 members played five games in a bid to be the first to have their name engraved on the new “Singles Champion Trophy”. This newly inaugurated competition will now be held yearly within the Air Hostess Pétanque Club.

     In order to get a good cross section of play, the games were played almost non-stop on a timed basis across 9 pistes. This hectic schedule brought about some interesting results amongst the members, with Barbara doing a sterling job under some pressure keeping the scores.

     At the end of play, 3 members were unbeaten winning all their games, Peter Andrew and Den. After a recount  Andrew emerged as the club’s first singles champion having a better “points for” tally but only by a single point from the runner-up Dennis with Peter in  3^rd place . Ian was alone in fourth place being the only player to have dropped just one game. No-one lost all their games although Malcolm was helped out by a “winning” bye!

     The trophies were produced and presented by Peter to Andrew along with wine,  Dennis also being rewarded with a bottle of the red stuff.

     Thanks all those members who helped organise and make the evening the success it was, especially to Peter for his huge input into the whole event. We now look forward to the possibility of following this with a new “Triples” competition later in the season for club members.
