Downside, however, with the competition at the end of August from the French doubles championships where the recent French champions from Gers in triples Delom, Cazes are qualified with Rocher, Quintais and Romain Fournié. The problem on the women’s side is that the launch of a Women’s National is not without difficulty. Indeed, to this day, around sixty doublets are still missing for a complete picture. Registrations can only be done online on the Passion Pétanque Française website (https://www.petanquefrancaise.com).
The Gers women’s doubles are missing while entry records were broken during the departmental championships a few weeks ago. The best French women will be there in the wake of Sophie Fournié and Camille Agrinier, French team and the Bandiéra sisters. It would be a shame for the Gers players not to compete at a high level, especially since the Gers have the potential to compete widely.
The Auscitain National will be broadcast on the PPF Web TV which averages 300,000 views per stage of the circuit on which the Auch La Hourre National is positioned. This event is also charitable since it is associated with the “Dance for a Smile” movement through a raffle.
