WENSLEYDALE Petanque Club held a very successful melee doubles open tournament at Akebar Park on Sunday.
The event was won by Sean Bradford, from Hunton, who also won the singles winter league.
The melee doubles follow a traditional French format that does not necessarily benefit the best players.
Matt Blyton, who will be in one of the British teams at the international festival of petanque in France at the end of June, was second last Sunday. Basil Mottershead, from Northallerton, was third.
The Wensleydale club has issued a challenge to other local groups to play a match against them. Hunton quoits team has already accepted the challenge and the petanque team will return the compliment by playing a quoits match against them.
The club meets at Akebar Park on Wednesdays from about 7pm and on Sunday afternoons. All are welcome to attend a session and learn the rules with no obligation to join the club.
