Many congratulations to Vale Petanque Club who claimed this year's Welsh Cup going up against a valiant Caerleon RFC Petanque team in the final.

Having gone through the rounds with ease - in the final, the Vale team let slip a golden opportunity to take the title without playing the triples. Caerleon took advantage and both triples matches came down to the wire with a number of players visibly tired from the testing weekend.

Well done to all the other teams involved across the weekend - City of LLandaff, Cardiff Harlequins Pétanque Club, Monkstone Petanque Club and Twyn Y Ffrwd Petanque Club - who competed well and helped showcase the improvement in playing levels.

Finally a big thank you to Monkstone, Caerleon and Harlequins for hosting the competition along with the number of volunteers who were on hand to provide onsite support. A final thank you should go to Tony Smith (WPA President) who did a superb job in ensuring the event ran smoothly.

Thank you to everyone who participated in Sunday's National Mixed Championships. 14 teams battled throughout the day on some testing pistes and it was great to see some relatively new players battling it out against the more experienced.

Congratulations to Dave and Julie in comfortably claiming the title. Also well done to Ian and Aimee who went throughout the day without a loss only to fall at the last hurdle. All representing the Vale Petanque Club 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A final well done should go to Kym and George (Twyn-ffrwd) who had a mix of results in the morning however they found their form in the afternoon to claim the Plate final from Chris and Jane (Caerleon).

While some rose to the top and others went the other way .. the most important win of all is that you were all out there playing and giving it your best - something that none of us should ever take for granted.

Thank you to the Welsh Petanque Association committee for running the event along with Caerleon RFC Petanque who provided the venue and facilities. Most of all thank you to everyone that participated and supported throughout the day.

We hope the weekly Sunday afternoon session gets everyone out playing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿☀️👏

Congratulations to everyone involved in this year's Welsh Petanque Association Home Nations ranking event which was held at Vale Petanque Club. While disappointingly low in team entries it was still great to see the camaraderie amongst all the players.

We wish them well as they head to Stirling Wolves Petanque in August to proudly represent Wales against Scotland, England and Jersey.
