Casual players, fans and anyone willing to throw a boule or two for fun against some of the nation’s best can try their hand at the Angkor Beer Petanque Contest at the Olympic Stadium on May 31.
French-language websites Le Petit Journal and French Is Good are jointly organising this never-seen-before event in partnership with Angkor beer and Obut, a famous petanque equipment brand that will be sponsoring the Cambodian Petanque and Sports Boules Federation during training and international competitions.

Attractive prizes are on offer for the participants including Obut Boules valued at $200, a couple of nights' stay at Hotel Le Ponton in Kep and numerous other gifts.
