On March 2nd we held our Kings vs Queens Pétanque Tournament with forty-eight players. We had a beautiful day with the temperature in the mid 70’s. While the men took home the 1st place championship the women claimed three out of five winning brackets.
So, who really won the tournament? Well, you will have to ask the men and women who played in the tournament. It’s likely that you will get different opinions. The main thing is that everyone had fun and they are all looking forward to a rematch next March.
During intermission players were served hotdogs, chips, and water.
W-W-W-W First Place Champions (L-R) Howard Karnes, Sam New, and Mark Alley.
W-W-W-L Second Place Winners (L-R) Andrea Siebert, Cheryl Burnham, and Anne Eberlin.
W-W-L-W Consolation Winners (L-R) Evalyn Gust, Lynn Braun, and Wilma New.
W-L-W-W Consolation Winners (L-R) Maureen Sponheimer, Susan Beaman, and Sharon Day.
L-W-W-W Consolation Winners (L-R) Ron Richman, Neville Carr, and Gary Briggs.
Congrats to all the tournament winners, 50/50 winners and other door prize winners. A special thanks to all the volunteers that continue to make this event possible.
If you’re new to Tanglewood or just never played Pétanque before, come on out and try it.
Winter Schedule: 10:00 am Tue/Thu/Friday; 1:00 pm Monday-Saturday. New Player Clinics are available at 12:45 pm every Monday.
