Seventy-two players plus supporters gathered last Saturday in the grounds of St Brigid’s to compete in the Maldon Petanque Club’s annual Mixed Triples tournament.  The winners - Stephane and Muriel Langlois and Chris Serre - took home  $600 in prize money and will have their names engraved on the trophy.
Played in cool but sunny weather, competition was keen as some of the best players from Melbourne and regional clubs played five games each.  The Forster Cup is one of many tournaments held across the state, and is always fully booked, with a waiting list of teams hoping for a cancellation. “Why wouldn’t you come and play in Maldon?” was one player’s comment.  “It’s a beautiful town that we love to visit, it’s a friendly club and it’s a really well-organised event.”
