HSPC held its first tournament on Dec. 30 at our homeground, Myoshoji Park.
Six teams participated in the triples league format, two from HSPC, two from MPC, one from Aoyama Petanque and a team put together for the event.
The weather was ideal and thanks to the annual New Year exodus from Tokyo, the park wasn’t crowded and we could play three games simultaneously.
The games were fought out in a competitive, yet friendly, manner and at the end of the day HSPC 2 (Raj, Steve and Greg) emerged undefeated to lift the cup, or in this case three bottles of wine.
In second place was team BRT (Bill, Rajesh and Takahashi), while MPC 1 (Kamada, Samejima, Kato) came in third.
After the day's play, the teams retreated to a local izakaya for the end-of-year party and presentation of the prizes.
Team BRT’s performance was outstanding as it was the first Petanque game for Bill, who generally spends his weekends on the pitcher’s mound.
A big thank you to Masafumi ‘Charlie’ Kamata for his help in organizing the event and for bringing the kegs of beer!
