Bovey Tracey Pétanque Club
BOVEY Tracey Petanque club play on their Piste at BT AFC Ground in St Johns Lane, Bovey Tracey every Sunday afternoon from 2pm through until 4pm or 5pm depending on the weather. This is a friendly afternoon where the emphasis is on social activity of fun. The club also hosts games twice a month for Bovey Tracey Activities Trust on a Thursday. 2019 was another excellent year for the club having won
the South Devon Twinning Petanque League Shield for the 19th consecutive year. During the year the club loaned many of their players to other teams in order to support the league and help them to win some of the trophies.
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. Apart from the league completion, BTPC have club trophy
competitions if members wish to compete, nothing is compulsory, the idea is to have a fun adternoon. 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. Some of the members also play in a more serious but still very friendly competition in the League games. The club is open to any one who would like to try their hand at this very easy game played in a friendly competitive manner Anyone interested in trying the sport is welcome
