The latest Rochester Best of Nine ends with a fifth straight victory for Team LaChance Integrale. The reporting staff at Petanque news has never witnessed such an unprecedented string of wins. The latest series ended 6 games to 3, in favor of LaChance.
In the final match, LaChance's pointing had really loosened up leaving a lot of opportunities for Team Z Obut. But in shooting, Mr. Chance was on fire, surgically removing, it seemed, Team Obut's points from the court, throw after throw. There were a number of textbook carreaus thrown in the round. LaChance, because of the sloppy pointing, did have to shoot with the final boule on a number of occasions, something that amazingly did not result in a single disaster. LaChance was heard mumbling apologies to the Petanque gods for daring to shoot with the final boule, knowing that the gods are easily displeased....
Zajac, refusing to be discouraged, seemed upbeat after the match. Tomorrow is another day, he said. And he had played well, losing only due to the uncharacteristically good shooting from Chance. The tables will turn once Team Z can re-focus on practicing, instead of on court excavation at the Bouledrome.
the Petanque reporting staff must also say that the courts are looking magnificent, and are well prepared for what promises to be a good turnout for this Sunday's matches.
