Cannon works as
a Practice
Manager at
Napiers’ First
Chiropractic
Centre. After
work and on
weekends
however, she
continues to
hone her skills
as NZ’s most
consistent
international
petanque player
of the past
decade.
Petanque is the
French game of
boules (bowls)
that many NZers
have played as a
past time. A
few however take
it to the next
level of playing
the game as a
sport. The
Hawke’s Bay
enjoys having 3
Napier based
clubs who have
all had current
or former NZ rep
players, both at
an Open and a
Seniors (60+
years) level.
The Napier based
player has
fashioned an
enviable record
having
represented NZ
seven times
since..........................more
