Firefighters Trophy Christchurch The Firefighters Memorial Trophy was presented to the Christchurch Club by Pierre Armengaud after the 2002 World Fighters' Games which were the first games held after the tragedy of 9/11. An annual Petanque tournament is held on Anzac Day to honour the memories of all servicemen and women and to celebrate the friendship of all Christchurch Petanque players.

The afternoon concluded with pizza nibbles and the presentation of Pierre's magnificent trophy to the winners ... Pat O'Shea ( Christchurch) and Max Maguigan (Ascot) who triumphed with 4 wins and a +17 differential. Second place went to Fran Hudson (Ascot) and John Yellowlees (Christchurch) with 3 wins and a +26 differential and third place to Chris Taylor (Christchurch) and Brian Ramage (Ascot) with 3 wins and a +21 differential.
