Which doublet will be sacred? That was the stake of Sunday 27 June 2021 during the pétanque tournament called “Tour to Tour New formula” which took place on the territory of the National Technical Director, Guy Tronou in Adjaha, located in the Mono department.

Indeed, 96 doublets from different backgrounds divided into 24 hens 4 teams competed for the top step of the podium. As in any competition, there were plenty of surprises after the framing phase to land on the round of 16. Eight doublettes were able to get out of the game at this stage to compile their ticket for the quarter-finals. Here, mistakes pay for themselves, the young people of Passion Pétanque Club d'Ahouamey learned the hard way against Ali Ousmane from Fraternité.

Four doublets lost their feather to make way for the best who delighted the public during the semi-finals. The doublet, Mehinto Gontrand and Houbo Désiré de Pcac sublimated by taking the upper hand over their opposite Zinvidjo Vivian and Roland Fagbohoun de Prestige 11-07. In the second poster, against their opponents (Ali Ousmane and Florent Djikpéssè from Fraternité Calavi), Moustaïne Adéniyi and Hounkponou Théophile from PCS simply amazed by presenting a dotted game of precision shots, genius checks and scores. Evidenced by the score 11-02.

Very lively, they reproduced the same game in the final. The scores (11-06) in front of the doublet of Pcac is the proof of this beautiful performance of the duo Adéniyi and Hounkponou.
