The city of the Dragon will endorse, from this Wednesday afternoon and until Monday, May 30, a status of capital of regional bowling sport on the occasion of the “Six Days of Draguignan” organized by the Bowling Association of Draguignan Clubs (ABCD) under the aegis of the French Federation of Pétanque and Provençal games.
An extraordinary meeting with no less than 3 Nationals and a host of additional competitions in both specialties. More than ever top-of-the-range with the assured presence of a contingent of national and international champions who will ensure the show for the greatest pleasure of aficionados.
Show and atmosphere guaranteed
After the traditional gentlemen’s tournament (partners, elected officials, personalities, champions) which will officially open the festivities and which will be followed in the evening by a musical cocktail in the Anglès garden, the serious things will begin on Thursday, at 9 a.m., with the first throws of cork of the National men’s pétanque in triplets on the combined sites of the parking of the alleys of Azémar and its counter-alley as well as the municipal bowling alley Marcel-Oliver(1).
Among the applications, only beautiful people come from all walks of life to conquer a title that is still very coveted. Thus, all eyes will quickly be focused on the main candidates for the palm and in particular Dylan Rocher, Henri Lacroix, Mickael Bonetto (winner 2019), Michel Hatchadourian, Simon Cortez, Frédéric Bauer, Christophe Bacchim, Tyson Molinas, Jean-Michel Puccinelli or again Christophe Sarrio to name but a few. A non-exhaustive list as we could almost all quote them. This National version 2022 will have, like its predecessors, an international character with the participation of Italian, Swiss and even Monegasque delegations.
The women will follow in their footsteps, from 2 p.m., as part of a National in doubles where, there too, the set is in itself worth the trip with what can be done best at this level of competition. .
Two days of non-stop performance with the semi-finals and the final scheduled for Friday from 2 p.m., in the square of honor set up for the occasion in the city center.
Long as a dessert
And then, barely time to breathe, that Saturday, in the early hours of the morning, will be given the three shots of the National in the Provençal game (3×3) which will serve as support for the 5e memory of Jo-Cavaliere.
The finest specialists in the discipline will be at the start, including a strong coalition of representatives of ABC Draguignan where we will be pleased to find Anthony Kerfah, Fabrice Rouvin, Yohann Segui, Mickaël Martini, Cédric Girard, Eric Bandini, Mohamed Benmostefa or even the Lassagne brothers, Sébastien and Jean-Christophe.
All capable of going all the way with the final set for Monday at the very beginning of the afternoon.
Six breathtaking days not to be missed, while hoping that the weather conditions will stay in the game.
In any case, show and atmosphere are already assured
