HÀ NỘI — Hà Nội won their first gold medal at the National Petanque Team Championship after years of waiting on Sunday.

Hanoians topped the podium in the two mens and one womens event, beating Trà Vinh 13-5 in the final at the ongoing tournament in Sóc Trăng Province.

Earlier they won bronze in the women’s team category.
