Passion for Petanque
Petanque@Risbygate Sports Club
A genteel sport, ideal for those lazy, hazy, summer evenings.The concept is similar to bowls with metal boules rolled or tossed to the jack.We have a new shingled terrain with pavilion and floodlighting.
We have an established Petanque section at the Risbygate Sports Club, with a teams competing in both the Newmarket and the Bury District leagues, on Monday and Wednesday nights respectively, throughout the Summer season.
The popularity of the sport, which can played by all ages and physiques, has resulted in a pleasing increase in our membership recently. This has justified the construction of a larger Terrain (playing area) with a pavilion and toilets adjacent.
The Club has Bar and Kitchen facilities, together with the opportunity to view and maybe sample the other sports available. We are always seeking to grow our section, so if you would like to form a team for league games or maybe just join for a friendly game, please contact us to discuss membership and any other queries you may have.

“It really is a club for a lifetime! I first joined in the 1970s, played in the teams in the 80s, supported my children through the Club coaching programmes in the 90s and now play social tennis and give something back by serving on the committee.”
