PETANQUE players from Theydon Bois finished fourth in the final regional qualifier at Bocking PC.

The team, named Victorians, consisted of Dave Tarling, Ritesh Lungut, Francois Bourquin and Andy Wilmot. They were untroubled in all of their games except one, where they surprisingly lost 13-2 to Rayne Angels.

The top eight teams, including Victorians, will now represent the Eastern Counties Region in the Inter-Regional tournament to be held in Somerset this September.
