OBA defeats HSPC to set up playoff for league title


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.
