Winning a couple of beer cans in Brno

Oldřich Brož (sen.), Zdeněk Konopásek and Karel Malivánek won the 3rd place in the prestige triplets tournament GP of the Litovel brewery in Brno.

Very briefly (abbreviated from the Czech version): it was our first petanque trip this year. We did not expect much, after the long winter period without training and playing matches, but the more we were pleased by the achievement: 3rd place (out of 53 triplets from the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland), having beaten some of the biggest favorites and best seated teams. Thus, this time we brought from Brno small glittering cups and a couple of beer cans, the prices for winner... not really, I am joking: what we really won was a beautiful Spring Saturday full of dramatic matches and petanque moments. A good start of the season.
