What a fantastic weekend of Petanque when the SPA Scotland team went down to play in the England Inter-Regional Championship against the elite of England at Weston-Super-Mare. They played against all the regions. Well they went and won the Challenge Cup after a gruelling 13 games each for the 4 teams over two days. A fantastic achievement. Unbelievable. Well done Scotland. Well done Dalkeith PC's own Kathleen Rankin who also plays for Dunbar PC in being part of the Scotland's 4 teams. A mention also for Newtongrange PC player and Dalkeith PC member Liz Herriot and her husband Alex from Newtongrange PC who were also in the squad which played in 4 groups of 4. Also from the county and Penicuik PC Donald Scarr and Scott Watson played brilliantly as did all the rest. The whole squad pictured underneath along with their Manager are all showing their delight in winning.

A big congratulations to East Lothian Pétanque Club on winning the 2026 Lothian and Borders League with one game to go. Well done. Its a fantastic league to play in meeting people from all over the Lothians . EL consistent right the way through the campaign. Well done my old partner from way back Janice McCormack. Hopefully for next year we will have additions to the League so as we can extend it.
