SXP Mixed Doubles Championship

2/9/2018

 
The Sussex Petanque Mixed Doubles Championships took place on Sunday 19th August at Goldsmiths PC with a strong turnout of 11 teams in total including a lot of new faces which was great to see.

There were two leagues of four and one league of three in the morning with the top 2 teams in each league going through to the Main plus the next best two. The remaining 3 teams battled it out in the Plate which was won by Karen Homewood & Rob Willison.

It was a close final in the Main which was narrowly won by Jane Pope & Jeff Mitchell who beat Lynn & Brian Chegwidden. So the 2018 Sussex Mixed Doubles Champions (for the third year running) are Jane & Jeff so congratulations to them both.

We also completed the Shooting Championships today and Andy Croft with 23 points is the Sussex Precision Shooting Champion for 2018 and will be invited to represent us at Petanque England’s Shooting Championships at Hayling Island next month. 

​Thanks go out to all the Goldsmiths PC members for getting the terrains ready and their endless tea/coffee & jaffa cake hospitality and to Adam Barclay who assisted with the draw and scorecard preparations.
