Pisted up at the HSPC end of year party!

HSPC would like to thank our management, sponsors, families and legions of fans worldwide for all their support in 2009! :)))

All the best for 2010!

Vas and Bob swim against the Sagamihara tide

HSPC's last game of the 2009 Tokyo Petanque League was away to Sagamihara Belle Equipe on Saturday, December 4. Knowing a win would give us a chance of finishing second, the boys started their warm-up routine on the train by shooting some Ebisu steel.

But our physical preparations proved inadequate for the rocky "car park" terrain, with Vas and Bob the only team that earned victories for the club under frigid conditions.

In the last game in particular they showed great spirit through torrential rain, earning HSPC our second win as we lost 6-2 on an inconsistent piste.

Congratulations to Sagamihara on their win, and to Mon Soleil for capturing the league again. Thanks Mizumoto san and crew for a fine spread.

A big thanks also to Adrian and Okawa san for all their work on the league admin side and to all the teams that participated.

We look forward to next year's competition.

Full results here.
