The Leitrum / Mulligans / Pure Malt annual pétanque tournament
took place on Saturday 13 July 2002 in our usual corner in Jardin de Tuileries, Paris. The sun's
shining and Alain soon has everyone arranged into teams
The competition begins.
This year my partner is Jean Phi.
Alain and Virginie
Sophie v Liverpool John
"New boy", Martin gets some practical tips from Jim.
Now it's Steve's turn
but is it close enough?
The girls, Malene and Flo take on the boys, Bertrand and
Liverpool John
Come on Pierre
Luc confirms it's a good one.
John first checks the position of his opponents' boules
and then blasts them out the way!
John and Sophie v Jean-Bap and Neil (off stage)
Meanwhile don't forget your picnic.
John, Pierre, Jim and Bala all agree that playing boule is thirsty work.
Time out for Virginie
Malene and Pierre
put their feet up
And so the afternoon draws on.
Game over.
Can anyone remember who won?
Just about finished before the rain came down.
Time then, for a drink over the road at the Pure Malt.
