On the Island there is a well-established league structure which is supported by most clubs between January and October. It is formulated so that even the newest players, young and old, can enjoy the friendly competition.
 
For the keenest players there are many local and regional one day competitions, usually held on Sundays, throughout the year. All Isle of Wight Petanque League and EPA IW Region Licence holders can enter these competitions with the exception of the EPA Inter-Regional Qualifiers which are open to EPA IW members only.

of the season with a win by Debbie and Richard Spencer, and Alan Hartley for the Princess Royal. Plessey Hotshots found their form at last and won their first match of the season with a convincing win against the Bandits who are currently supporting the rest of the league.
