British lady players Emma Boers and Lottie Lamacraft have added The Open de France Femenin title to their success in the 2015 season, with a win for their Lowell team on Sunday
The Open de France’s finals were full of promises regarding the level of the semifinals, and even the all tournament. But sometimes, these promises can’t be kept: the challenge of a final can create a game tight and boring. It wasn’t the case, far from that, for this 2015 edition.
Semifinals of the 15th Open de France held all their promises on Friday, last week, with two games that have warmed the atmosphere! This promised a final more... caliente!
The men's competition semifinalists are Marquard Media and Tom Tailor. Meanwhile, a penalty shootout between Sainte Mesme, Ghantoot and La Quinta was held today to determine the other two teams who will play the semis. Sainte Mesme and Ghantoot ran out the winners, while La Quinta earned a spot in the subsidiary final.
Never an Open de France has been as competitive. Never levels had been so high and the teams were of such homogeneity. It took penalties sessions to designate two of the four semifinalists.

Time to dig out the bobble hats and tweed for the arena season
It’s that time of year again when summer season ponies are having their shoes off and kicking up their heels in their winter turnout fields, while the arena ponies are coming in to get fit for another season.
Day disrupted by the rain, but all Open de France games have taken place between the drops. A day during which Sainte Mesme I lost its invincibility while defending champion La Quinta finally found back the taste of victory.
