After HSPC had gone undefeated in the Tokyo Petanque League, Okubo Boules Association (OBA) dealt our team its first loss of the season on Dec. 16 to force a playoff for the title.
Behind from the first frame, our boys could never really find their rhythm and loss all 6 games.
The wild piste -- a fast terrain mixed with "rocks of death" and blankets of leaves -- proved untamable for us visitors, though we look forward to a future challenge.
The games were played in a good spirit and HSPC would like to thank OBA for their hospitality.
The two teams will clash for the trophy in a playoff at neutral Aoyama in January in a best of seven series.
