The Three Shires Pétanque League
This was the original Greene King League in the district. It was started with a nucleus of BPA players from the Pennant Mid Week League to provide more local competition. The formal committee structure allowed the league to run with little GK help, until finally it obtained other sponsors. It used to change its name to reflect new sponsors but has decided on a neutral name but gives grateful recognition to sponsors by incorporating their names, logos, URLs etc on all website pages and flyers.

Currently the League has no sponsor. It is open to any Club within 10 miles of its HQ at The Engine, Baldock.

All Clubs in the league must be affiliated to the BPA, but Club members do not need to hold BPA Licences (unless playing in BPA competitions).

Players may use leisure or DOG boules during the 1st year in the league.

The four divisions are competitive with Clubs being promoted and relegated each year.
