Under blue skies & warm sunshine, three Leeds members recently enjoyed success at the Pétanque England National Squad Selection Event (SSE) held in Worthing. A total of four individual triples events were held, with SSE4 being won by Charles Stewart, Neill Rank & Alan Swift. Following a league stage, the top two teams qualified for a final where the Leeds trio beat a team of England international players 13-6.
Earlier in the day, Charles, Neill & Alan had already beaten the overall SSE winners who will go on to represent England in the World Championships later in the year. This was a very strong performance, requiring a consistent level of play & concentration over the six games – a great result for Leeds & the Yorkshire region in the national programme.
