The HSPC beach boys rock in Hiratsuka

HSPC traveled to the sunny Shonan shores on Sunday to take on Hiratsuka Beach Petanque in the Tokyo Petanque League.

The Okawas and crew have an excellent set-up, exclusive courts looking over the sea. Their team were great hosts and offered a superb spread of food and drinks. On the piste, the visitors adapted well to the Aoyama-like terrain, going on to win the day 6-2 with Steve and Greg sharing MVP honors after triumphing in all four games. Vas and Bob also showed great spirit to battle back from huge deficits to emerge victorious in both their games. For the first time in a while, the team didn't have to rely on Raj the Rock.

Well done guys.

Not even new team shirts could help HSPC beat Mon Soleil

A damp day on Saturday, and for our league campaign, as HSPC fell at home to front runners Mon Soleil 6-2, despite the arrival of new team shirts.

Congratulations to Hosoda san and her team and a big thanks to Big Bill for the new shirts and team cooler!
