Well the triples league has finally finished! The last match saw The Panthers pip The Belles 9 - 8, to finish fourth, with The Belles staying bottom of the table.

Well, the winners of the triples league have been confirmed as GAS - congratulations to Stevie, Sandy and Gary. Meanwhile, second place is still up for grabs, with 3 teams able to secure it (mathematically speaking).

Saturday 28th saw us head to Penicuik, to play some matches against a couple of other clubs. After the first round of matches, we were trailing 3 - 1.

It turned out a nice mild day for a January. This brought out a sense of competition in people, with no less than 5 singles ladder matches, and one league game taking place.

A reminder to anyone who is interested in entering national competitions, that you should apply for your SPA licence via the Scottish Petanque Association website.

As the year comes to a close, we wish all our members a happy and prosperous 2023. Don’t forget there’s some boules being played on 1st January, followed by a trip to The Dean Tavern… Enjoy!

Congratulations to the players who have managed to climb their way up the Singles Ladder since we started 6 weeks ago; Tommy R, Kaye S, Willie U, Steve H, Gary G, Lyn R and Alan G.

Several league matches were played this weekend - results can be seen on the Competitions pages. Nittincrediboules failed to win either of their matches, in stark contrast to GAS, who were on fire!

Well, the singles ladder got off to a good start for the women in the club. Both Lyn R and Kaye S have climbed the ladder in the past week.

The NPC League fixtures got underway today, with four matches taking place. Some tight matches were played, but others fared less well, with The Panthers (who won their first two matches) being soundly beaten 0 - 13 by The Fabulous Bouling Boys.
