We are the champions

Fran and I were unstoppable at the 2023 Northcote Pétanque Club Doubles Championship on Sunday. It was a small field as several members are traveling, but even so we surprised ourselves by beating some people we usually don’t.

Our names will be engraved onto a little plaque which will be added to the 25 or so previous winners already on the trophy… good company to be in!

I’m really quite proud of winning this little contest, and that feeling of pride (given the exceptionally low stakes) makes me feel a bit silly. It makes me wonder: if I’d played more organized sports as a kid, maybe I would have worked all that out of my system. Or maybe not 🤷🏼‍♂️
