For BCK, this beautiful weekend was an opportunity to confirm that it remains the best training club in the department. The protégés of the president, Jacky Hamoniaux, won medals in all categories. There were even several 100% BCK podiums, such as those for the junior ladies’ singles, the junior ladies’ singles, the junior men’s doubles, the junior ladies’ doubles, the junior mixed doubles and the chicks’ mixed doubles. Enough to satisfy the club’s two coaches, Jérome Aubert and Quentin Tuaillon.
