A quiet young man in the land of cacous
The Guierche in Sarthe, funny place for a champion bowls. And yet, this is the country of Dylan Rocher, the rising star of the art for feet "tanqués" invented in La Ciotat by a tired grandpa move playing traditional Provencal Thurs This morning on the aisles Borely and under the blazing sun of the Old Port, the kid from the Guierche will no longer make anyone smile. In the land of bowlers, a Sarthois taught them the art of making hand-left, now they admire this young man of discretion, this true champion.

A record to thrill
World champion, master, champion of France of mixed doubles and especially the World La Marseillaise in bowls, bowler nirvana, Dylan has won everything.
3 times with the triple, Antoine Dubois and Stephane Robineau, Dylan Rock participated in the biggest competition of petanque in the world, "Roland Garros balls" named by Yves Mourousi two times he won the bet. This year, he wants to match his teammates who won three times on the Old Port. His shooting average achieved most of the time 90% of balls hit, yet Dylan knows, everything is possible in this contest-like cut, where the small local champion can still shake up the rankings. After a week will be sacred true champions.
