The French lawn bowls team was born after the FFLB was created in 2016, thanks to our main partner DUVARRY DÉVELOPPEMENT. In only three years, the progress made were incredible. France has become one of the best nations in Europe. It took part to its first international competition in 2017: the European Lawn Bowls championship in Jersey (UK).
The team gets better with each tournament played: the Atlantic Championship in Cardiff in 2018 and of course, the 2019 European championship in Guernsey. Against all odds, Team France won the silver medal in mixed fours, a great performance that astonished the best European players. But these results are not due to luck: the federation considers its players as high level athletes, imposing them individualized training program prepared by head coach Stéphane FOURNIER.
The team is composed by the best players of boule lyonnaise and pétanque in the country. They managed to adapt very quickly to this new sport. Skilled with a mental dispositions and surrounded by an involved staff, our champions are in the best conditions to perform. They will try to gain new medals in the next competitions: the U25 World championship in Newcastle in December 2019 and the World championship in Australia in May 2020. Our players represent the perfect idea of Patrick DUVARRY’s viewing of the federation: more than a sport, a way of life.
This young and motivated team has no limits and dream of a world medal against the best of the best. For this, it will need the support of an entire country, so…
VIVE LA FRANCE!
