The Sussex Petanque Over 50s Doubles Championships took place at Brighton & Hove PC on Sunday 29th July on a wind and rain swept seafront terrain.
Seven teams braved the weather and we had a league of 4 and a league of 3 with the top 2 teams in each league going through to the main.
The 2018 Sussex Over 50s Champions are Alan Constable & Tony Mann who remained undefeated on the day. They won the final 13 - 4, beating the only other undefeated team of Jeff Mitchell & Alan Smith (who had only conceded 8 points in their previous 4 games). Both teams will be invited to represent Sussex at Petanque England’s Champion of Champions Over 50s at Rayne Swan PC in September. Congratulations to both teams.
Thanks go out to Brighton & Hove PC members Terry Gibbons & Alan Issler for getting the terrains ready and to Alan Constable who assisted with the draw and scorecard preparations.
