Sarah & Catherine are Regional IWD champions

Sarah and Catherine put up a magnificent display to win the Heart of England International Women's Day (IWD) pairs competition from a field of 16 teams from across the Region. Stockton Petanque Club hosted the event and entered four pairs. After four rounds, three of the Stockton teams featured in the top six, with Sarah and Catherine third, Diane and Emily fifth and Anthea and Clare sixth. The top four teams then played a very close semi-final in which Sarah and Catherine beat the England Singles Champion - Hannah Griffin - and partner Carol Woodward from Whitnash 13-11, earning them a final against another Whitnash pair which they also won 13-11.

The top four teams now go forward to the National IWD competition in a field of 32 pairs from all of the England Regions. We wish them the best of luck against the top teams in the Country.
