The second Club Competition of the 2008 Season was the FENTON QUAICH run by the Perth Petanque Club at the North Inch Perth.The weather forecast for Sunday 13th was all doom - snow, hail and rain so it was nice to wake up to spring sunshine which decided to continue throughout the day - so much for weather forecasts!

Ten teams turned up so a five games round robin was the order of the day.

Although there was a clear winner it went to the wire for third place - young Mr Findlay Ross throwing the winning boule in a 13 -12 thriller against uncle Bob and aunty Zandra to hand third place to his granny Mabel!

The result was as follows -

  1st - Robbie Stronach and John Wilson - 5 wins + 37  

2nd - Stephane Maurage and Byron Milton - 4 wins + 14 

  3rd - Mabel Danraj and Margaret Mauchline - 3 wins + 17

The other seven teams were -

Alice Sheach and Ed Strachan; Jean Hutcheson and Steve Wallace; Sheila Anderson and Stuart Malcolm; Eileen Moonie and Elsie Watt; Findlay Ross and Douglas Hamilton; Zandra and Bobby Boyle; Fiona Ross and Derek Adam.

Thanks to all for coming to support Perth Petanque and making it a friendly but also a competitive day.
