This Thursday, June 27, 2024, there was an important day of the Veterans Clubs Championship for two teams from the Amicale Boules de Châtenoy le Royal (ABCR).
Hope for the future in the 2nd Division
For the team involved in the 2nd Division, ranked 7th with equal points with Sornay 1 at the end of the 5th day, this 6th day which was played in Chatenoy le Royal for all 8 teams of this Veterans Club Championship, was of great importance for a possible maintenance in the Division.
To keep this hope of continuing at this level alive, it was necessary to win against the opponent of the day, Macon 2. Captain Jean-Marc De Micheli’s team fulfilled its contract by winning the match 20 to 16 with 3 victories in head-to-head, two in doubles and one in triples.
Thus the 1st Veterans team of the Amicale Boules de Châtenoy le Royal certainly conforms its 7th place with 10 points tied with Macon 2 and moves away from 8th place, synonymous with relegation, now doomed to Sornay 1 and its 8 points. Everything will be played for the next and seventh day against Marnay 1 currently 3rd in the ranking.
A victory at home for the 3rd Division
On the 3rd Division side, the Veterans 2 team defeated Oslon 2 with a score of 24 to 12 with 2 victories in head-to-head, 2 in doubles and 2 in triplets. A first victory for this team which thus shares 7th place with the Ouroux sur Saône 2 team, but unfortunately it will be a relegation to the 4th Division
The pétanque courts at Espace Savoy, avenue Mozart were very busy, even extended onto Place Berlioz for the occasion, on this Thursday, June 27, since 16 teams of 8 players occupied the premises. And as is traditional in this type of competition, the host club offers a small snack to the participating clubs to recover from the three parts that make up the day’s competition.
The ABCR office, headed by President Daniel Rebillard, would like to thank the volunteers who ran the refreshment bar during the afternoon and served meal trays in the evening.
