In 2023, 16 organisations faced off in our first ever Inter Company Pétanque tournament with Navigator Blue taking the inaugural trophy.
In 2024, Pétanque fever spread and 28 LQ BID member organisations took part with NI Chest Heart and Stroke coming out on top. BBC’s The One Show even popped down to Blackstaff Square to shoot a segment which was broadcast earlier this year. (You can watch that here)
2025 Tournament: Registrations Now Open
Can NI Chest, Heart & Stroke successfully defend their title or do you think you and your colleagues could reign supreme? Register your team using the form at the bottom of this page to take part in our 3rd Annual Pétanque Tournament which will take place over lunchtimes in June, July & August.
Organisations who haven’t played before will be invited to a practice day, and receive a set of their very own boules to keep in their workplace so that they can practice at any time. It’s a knock-out, so if you win you will progress to the next round. That means for most teams, it won’t actually be that much of a commitment of time but for those who reach the final may end up playing around 5 games over the summer months.
Winners will receive our coveted trophy, personalised with their company name so that they can show it off over the next year, as well as a £250 voucher for the Observatory Bar at the Grand Central Hotel.
