The renaissance of SA pétanque continued in Round 2 with a population explosion. Undeterred by the threat of showers (which fortunately stayed away for the most part), a staggering turn-out of 87 players took to the pistes at Novar Gardens.

This year’s Mixed Doubles Championship was played under ideal conditions – mild temperature, warm sun, no wind, no rain, no hail, no fog. The sort of weather one normally gets at Stirling when there isn’t a petanque tournament on.
Perfect spring weather, some serious petanque and plenty of bonhomie were the rewards for a large turnout of competitors in Round 2. As usual, the Gawler club went all out to make it an excellent day, serving breakfast as well as lunch to the hungry petanquers.
Welcome to the new League members who will be representing our club at the upcoming league days this year.
Don’t forget any member of our club who is interested in being a league player is most welcome. It doesn’t matter what standard you’re at playing against people from other clubs improves your game and allows you to get a sense of the wider petanque community.
Coming up are a number of events that members may be interested in.
The next League day at Stirling will be held on January 19th 2020.
