A good turnout at Myoshoji on Saturday Jan. 20, with Charlie Kamata and two of his MPC teammates showing up for a few games.For some reason, probably a lack of beer consumption, HSPC struggled early in a few games of triples and were beaten soundly by MPC. Seemed every round we'd all throw one ball in the gutter followed by a decent shot. You don't tend to win too many games when you're playing three boules to your opponent's six ...
On Sunday a few of us made it to the park and Bob and Yutaka teamed up against Mike and myself. We got off to a great start leading 8-0 but as expected they fought back and evened the scores at 9-9. The tide turned again, though, and with Mike throwing some solid knock out shots we held on to win.
The rematch was another close affair and the scores were locked up at 12-12 before Mike sent the cochonnet back deep and with Bob still holding one boule and nothing really close we thought they'd take the game but Bob's shot came up short.
Bob did throw the shot of the day, though, with a brilliant high lob to extract our boule from a tightly-packed cluster.

In the photograph... is that Rajan delicately balancing a can of beer in his right hand?
Most definetely not. I think it's a glass of wine ...
