Cranleigh Petanque Club, the new North Downs League Champions.....
On Tuesday evening both Oxshott and Cranleigh travelled to Kirdford for the finals of the North Downs League.
The weather report was for heavy rain, none appeared until we all went home.
There was quite a crowd of supporters who had come to watch the finals, including the Chairman and the Secretary of the North Downs league accompanied by their wives.
The match got under way at 7.30 and we decided to play all games to the end and not to have timed games.
Cranleigh won the first two games in round one but lost the last.
In round two Cranleigh maintained the first round success by winning a further two games.
Going into round three the score was 4 - 2 to Cranleigh. Oxshott now started to play boules taking the first two games in the round. This left the last game to decide who would be this years Champions, after a slow start Joan and Ash slowly over took David and Pam. David and Pam came back and the score was all square at 10 - 10. Joan put in the final shots and Cranleigh took the game and match with a match score of 5 - 4 to Cranleigh.
We would like to thanks Amities Boule Club for the use of their terrain for the evening and the Foresters for supplying the soup and sandwiches after the match.
Finally we would like to thank Oxshott for a terrific final which could have gone either way at the last minute.
The trophy will be presented at the end of season melee which will be held at Cranleigh on Sunday.

Cranleigh Open Triples results
First of all I would like to thank everyone for turning and playing, you are all a nice crowd.
It was dry all day except for the end of the last two games then it poured.During the day we watched 2 displays by the Red Arrows and an ear spilting display by the Euro fighter and all of this at no extra cost.
We all ate in the club most of us consuming a very good Sunday Roast and some even continued and had the pud.
The draw at the start of the day decided which piste and who you would play in our 5 game melee. Because of a team dropping out we played 9 triples and 3 doubles. This meant we didn't have any byes.
The final results where.
 |
| First Fanny. Roz Lynn and Tim |
 |
| 3rd Place. Jeff and Lesley |
 |
| 2nd Place Ray and Dean |
 |
| Winners. Richard Mark and Alan |
1st Richard Mark and Alan 4 wins + 56
2nd Dean and Ray 4 wins + 32
3rd Lesley and Jeff 4 wins + 25
4th Mike, Matt and Micheala 4 wins + 21
The first fanny went to Tim, Roz and Lynn this was a very close call but the other team held out for a couple of extra ends.
Thanks everyone for turning up. We hope to most of you again at the North Downs League end of season Melee in October.

1st Anniversary afternoon
Saturday was the first anniversary of our clubs first meeting.
The day started wet and overcast but soon warmed up and the sun came out.
During the morning we put up the bunting and the tent. After setting out the chairs and arranging the glasses and the plates we all went off to lunch at the club.
We started playing at 2pm, our guests from ABC Kirdford where enjoying the new piste and trying to get the hang of the old.
At 3pm our youngest club member present cut the cake, Lesley and Jan poured the wine and we all sang happy birthday to the club.
Unfortunatly our french guest did not appear until after the cake and wine.
Eventually 14 members of the twinning group came and played, it was fun teaching our french guest how to play petanque. During the afternoon Gene from Semur told us she had been asked by the Semur boule club to approach us and find out whether we would be prepared to visit Semur for a weekends petanque and would we be willing to arrange for them to visit us. After our meeting she is going back to arrange both our visit to them and their visit to us.

Home Nations Qualifier at Luton
Tony, Lesley, Sue and Jeff
The team from Cranleigh travelled up to Luton on Sunday to take part in The Home Nations Qualifier.
This competition is to select 8 teams to travel to Inverness in August to play against teams from Scotland and Wales.
Thirty teams traveled to Luton for the competition from all over the UK.
We went for the experiance of a top class competition.
After arriving at 8.45 we booked in and awaited the draw. It was very hot and very windy.
Our first game was against a strong team comprising two members of this years English team.
After we took a 6 - 1 lead, they got their act together and took the game 13 - 6
We went on to win the next 3 games against very good competition including Graham and Kim from Adur assisted by our regional President Bernie.
We went into the last game knowing that we must either win or get a very high score to make it to Inverness.
Our team quickly made it to 11 - 6, then the oppostion changed the line up of their team and went on to beat us 13 - 11.
We spent the next hour awaiting for all of the results to come in, hoping that our points difference would take us through. But alas we didn't do enought.
We went to play and we played well. Bring on Wales next year
