Spring turned on a beautiful day for the annual Sixers competition; but then that's what we've come to expect at Prospect!
With a full field of 12 teams - 72 players - we had a great day of petanque with 4 rounds of mixed and gender triples, doubles as well as singles. Semis and a final for the Principale, Consolante and Conviviale rounded off the day.
The usual Prospect crowd organised a great lunch of cold meats and salad, followed by Heike's apple crumble.
Results ended up with:
- Principale: Boule Busters defeated the Golden Oldies
- Consolante: Hills Hoisters beat Boule Devant
- Conviviale: Pigeons beat All of Us
Huge thanks to everyone who turned up to play, plus all the Prospect helpers. Special thanks to Steve for the spreadsheet work that made scoring a breeze!

We had a great Wednesday night turnout, even though the night started with a fresh wind. PPC usually as cool nights with little wind, so it was a change, but as the night progressed that wind dropped making playing much nicer even if a bit cool.
Our cook for the night was Wendy and helper Alan, who was offering up pizza, garlic bread and a green salad. different options included Olive and Anchovies, Margarita style and Vegetarian. Thanks to Wendy no one went home hungry.
Thanks to the clean-up crew and bar staff.

Wednesday night brought a great turnout for a lovely, balmy evening of pétanque. We were fortunate to have Steve cooking for us, with help from his assistant Michael and additional input from Jacques and Marty. On offer was a "Hawaiian burger" with cheese, pineapple, and coleslaw, served with either a teriyaki or peanut satay sauce. Thanks go to the boys, the bar staff, and the kitchen hands for cleaning up.
On another note, even if it is a bit late, here is the report for the Saturday competition for October: It was pleasing to see so many people turning out. We actually had 29 people playing for a pot of $58.00. Three players scored 26 points—Heike, Van, and Melissa. Van was the only one without a handicap, which made him our winner for the day. Congratulations, Van!
Our next Saturday competition is on the 21st of November—see you there!

The Women’s division was particularly well supported, with 13 teams taking part for the first time in several years. Special thanks to Tina Stockley for championing and supporting this division.
All teams played four timed games before lunch, after which they were graded into the Principal, Convivial, Consulante and Knockout divisions.
In the Open division, Van and Ned (ESP and Novar Gardens) were the winners, with Nathan and Awed (ESP) finishing as runners-up. Roland (Novar Gardens) and Bruce (Adelaide Hills) won the Consulante division, while Deb and Ralf (Adelaide Hills) won the Knockout division over Richard V and David J (PPC).
In the Women’s division, Deb and Anna (ESP) were the winners, with Rada and Tina (APC) finishing as runners-up. Heike and Yvonne (PPC), and Rae and Sue (FAB), were equal third, while Dee and Sandy (ESP) won the Convivial division.
