Detroit Petanque Club Has Visitors from Sister Club


Lunchtime has never been so competitive! Today's petanque session encompassed Sharon, Gene, Bobby (this trio will be the triplette for the Oct 8th event by the way...); Eric and Maude (from the Michigan Petanque Club); Hal, Will, and Jeff.

Triplettes were played (Hal, Sharon & Maude) vs. (Eric, Bobby & Will) - while on one of the many other courts, Tete-a-tete: Gene vs. Jeff went on...

Bobby and Will teamed up in a singles/doubles mix against Jeff at terrain #2 (of 13 at the DPC training courts) playing two games against him, vying for victory. Victory was precariously in their grasp, with the magnificent half-lobs from Bobby, and the miraculous "Deus-Ex-Machina" plombee shots from Will. But Jeff held his own for the wins. "It's just a matter of time before these guys will beat me every game," Jeff mused, "I see the determination in their eyes."
