Team Zajac's Stunning Losses Following the Bar Tabac Tournament


Michigan Central Petanque Sports News Authority - July 22, 2006

Our staff attended last night's rounds of petanque in Rochester filled with anticipation.

Would Team Z, riding a wave of momentum following the Bar Tabac Tournament in New York, finally be able to stand up to the heretofore indomitable Team LaChance? Sadly, the expectations of our staff were quashed by LaChance's rock solid play.

The first end started out with a "carreau a carte" resulting in a 4-0 lead for LaChance.

And he never looked back. The first game ended in a 13-2 rout and the second game was even more one sided - a 13-0 fanny of Team Z. Zajac was seen rubbing his forehead and muttering something about beating Akhil and Juan in New York, but if he and his pointing partner Lindsey had it in them then, it was nowhere to be seen in Rochester this Friday. The third game of the series ended in a relaxed 13-8 victory for Team LaChance and a clean three game to nil sweep of Zajac. At the conclusion of this, our reporters asked what happened - did Joe see any prospects of finally winning a round against Team LaChance?

Zajac responded vaguely about finishing in the top sixteen in two tournament days in New York, but of course there may have only been sixteen teams in both cases altogether. Zajac was vague on this point.

Our advice from the sports writing staff, Team Z should consider staying home and getting some practice for the next tournament.
