RUTLAND PETANQUE LEAGUE.
Villagers Kerry Palfrey, Dave Ormshaw and myself all play for the White Horse Hunters in the Rutland petanque league. After many years playing in the premier division we dropped down into division one at the end of the 2008 season. The summer proved very difficult for the Hunters. Having to move to the new venue at Morcott after the start of the season,we lost our home advantage which meant that all but three matches had to be played on the opponent's pistes.
After a shaky start in 2009 we had a very good summer and won promotion back into the premier division. This coming season our main objective will be to stay up, but with the number of first class regional and national players joining the top clubs it's not going to be easy. It may be that we rename ourselves the "yo-yos". Hopefully playing on regular Friday and Sunday nights down "The Hut" will ensure that we gain the necessary skill to maintain our position and perhaps improve it . It won't be for the lack of trying .
