A lovely autumn day on Sunday at Myoshoji Park saw HSPC defeat Okubo Boules Association 8-0 in the Tokyo Petanque League. Bob and Raj raced out to an early 13-0 victory while Steve and Greg labored away in a lengthy battle before emerging winners over Monty and Nakahara san 13-8.
Bob and Yutaka then teamed up winning 13-5 while Greg found some form to take the weight off Steve as they triumphed 13-2.
In the end seven HSPC players flew the team flag with new boy James Allen getting his first taste of league action in a win with Steve. Father Pete also deserves an honorable mention for blessing us in the last game.
Steve was in fine form -- especially in the first game with Captain Crumble -- and earned MVP honors.
Full results can be seen on the Tokyo Petanque League site.
HSPC final game of the TPL season will be a toughy, away to Sagamihara Belle Equipe.
