The Sète International Pétanque (6th edition), which is now one of the big dates of the season, was sold out last weekend, with no less than 512 teams and a host of stars of the discipline. More than thirty 100% Gardoise triplets were at the party. The opportunity to discover new formations after the winter transfer window.

The beautiful journey of Laurenti, D’Amore and Gaubert

Only one trio was still in the running on Sunday after the bowling marathon (six or seven games) the day before. Alexandre Laurenti, Frédéric Gaubert and Yoni D’Amore, remaining faithful to their club Boule Amiale de Caveirac, continued to impress the gallery by exiting in the round of 16 Chazel, Blanc and Dubois (La Voulte-Carpentras), on the score is 13-11.

For access to the last square, the Caveiracois competed against Roux, Grégori and Kasbarian (Cabriès). The mano a mano kept its promises, the two triplets taking turns taking the advantage. But at 10-10, a slightly long addition from the Bucco-Rhodanian pointer changed the situation and, unfortunately for the D’Amore gang, opened the way to victory for their rivals (13-10).

Evolution of the score: 0-2, 3-2, 3-5, 6-5, 6-7, 6-9, 10-9, 10-10, 13-10.&nbsp ;The Gardois left this International with their heads held high, won by the Varois Henri Lacroix, Ligan Doeer and Laurent Matraglia.

At the National Youth, only the juniors stood out. In this category, 26 triplets were entered. Robin Buisson and Dorian Barrière (Canaules), teamed up with Aveyronnais Ruben Vayssettes, lost 13-10 in the final against Szczotkowski, Terryn and D’Amico (Fuveau), having had the lead. They then suffered two counterattacks which allowed their opponents to win.
Note that in the semi-final, the future winners had already beaten the Gardois, in this case Léo Martine, Timéo Imbert and Solan Boudjelloui (Uzès), 13-11.

As cadets, none of the four Gardoise formations involved (out of 32) was able to reach the quarters. In junior (36 triplets at the start), Théo Bernard (Les Angles), associated with Joffrey Pauchet (Orange) and Nathan Gourlain (Céret), lost 13-9 in the semi-final against the Spaniards. The only 100% Gardoise team, that of Codolet with Justin Divol, Henri Impériali and Dylan Rayne-Langlade, failed 13-8 in the 8th against the recent winners of the Annecy International, Anne-Dit, Jarlat and Macario (Novels).
