9/29-30 - LBNY New York Open in Bryant Park


















What a glorious weekend to play petanque in NYC! Bryant Park was the perfect setting for the 2-day tournament. Again, we have to hand it to Ernesto Santos, president of the La Boule New Yorkaise, for organizing yet another spectacular event!

We entered 5 teams - lots of yellow polo's in the crowd:

Jean Luc Portal & John Luke Portal
Bernard Brezzo & Jim Barr
Judy Rayer & Joella Cannon
Philippe Rayer & Paul Borrel
Monica & Eduardo Lucotti


There were teams from California, Maine, Massachusetts, Illinois as well as NY... all honing their petanque skills by using focus, careful aim, and precise striking. We were up to the challenge, and played our hearts out.

Kudos to the winners...we'll be back!!

Thanks for the pictures everyone - send us more and we will post them!

Salut!
