Pétanque Club Bovey Tracey


BOVEY Tracey Pétanque club play on their Piste at BT AFC Ground in St Johns Lane, Bovey Tracey. Last year was another excellent one for the club having won the South Devon Twinning Pétanque League Shield for the tenth consecutive year. During the year they also won three out of eight individual trophies in the South Devon Twinning Pétanque League. The concept: The sport is played with metal balls and a jack and can be played by teams of three players (triples), two players (doubles) or a straight head-to-head between two single players.


The object of each end is to get more of your boules closer to the jack than your opponent (each one that is closer scores one point) and the team/player to reach the score being played for first wins the game. Members turn out every Sunday afternoon for friendly games among the players. Members do not have to play in a league although we encourage those who would like to engage in more serious competition to do so. The club is open to anyone who would like to try their hand at this easy game played in a friendly competitive manner. Anyone interested in


trying the sport is welcome to come along on a Sunday afternoon and try it out, no equipment is required.
