Morgan Choveaux about to play the boule during post section play at the Wanganui East Petanque Club's Open Triples tournament on Sunday.
There was another strong turnout of teams for the Wanganui East Petanque Club's Open Triples tournament at the weekend.
Twenty-one teams, or 63 players, undertook the two days of competition, including around 15 former or current New Zealand representatives.
They travelled from Palmerston North, Napier, Kapiti and Wellington to takepart.
Organiser Pauline Ray said while the prayers for no rain were answered, conditions were still very windy and cold, with Saturday's gusts raising up dust on the Wanganui East Club's courts for the players to overcome.
Ray was pleased with the continued success of the annual tournament, which was first held in 2007.
The Plate competition was won by Wanganui East's Beryl Cowan, Sheryl Parslow and Dene Futcher, while the Bowl was won by the Manawatu team of Kevin Bryan, Allan Cameron, and Ian Bailey.
