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.

Sussex Petanque held their 2018 Triples Championships at Goldsmiths PC on 15th July on what was another glorious sunny day.

The 2018 Sussex Triples Champions areJeff Mitchell, Matt Shrimpton & Kris Smith who remained undefeated on the day. The runners-up were David Alfred, Rohan Bedford & Tony Mann. Both teams will be invited to represent Sussex at Petanque England’s Champion of Champions Triples at Oxshott PC in October. Congratulations to both teams.

Thanks go out to Goldsmiths PC members for getting the terrains ready, to Alan Constable who prepared the scorecards for everyone and to Kat Smith, Jeff Mitchell, Adam Barclay & Brian Chegwidden for assisting Tony Mann with the Shooting organisation throughout the day. 

In our Shooting the current leader is Andy Croft who scored 23 points with Matt Shrimpton in second on 18 points.

We hope to have the shooting at our Over 50s Doubles (on 29th July) and at our Mixed Doubles (on 19th August) too so others have a chance to enter.
