Well, it’s happened again, the bridesmaids, Sara-Jane, Dez and Sharon were rolled over in the final of the club's HB Autumn Triples petanque tournament last weekend (8th & 9th May). It's the sixth time that they have been runners-up in this event. The final looked like it was in the bag but Barry Hunt (HBLTS), Bethne Gardner (HBLTS) and Murray Porter (Bay View) pipped them at the post to take out this year’s title, winning 13-11 late on the Sunday afternoon.
This year's tournament, sponsored again by The Station Bar & Bistro, had a full draw of teams from Wellington, Wanganui, Palmerston North and Hawke’s Bay all of whom thoroughly enjoyed their weekend. Full results below:
