Yesterday was a rocky start for last years champions. Playing home, VDAJ were not to be able to confirm to last year’s glorious and mind boggling playing and lost their first two games. First lost was against Canada Wood - Paul (Malle Pietje). The Canadian Dutch team shot hard and accurate, winning 5-4. Next lost of VDAJ was against a hard as steel Steelcase. Steelcase by the looks of it had been practicing day and night at one of those winter training camps in Siberia, as their balls rolled with an icy cold accuracy towards goal leaving VDAJ goalkeeper Martin in tears. Steelcase more than deserved the best player award for their flair and finesse and goaly Kurochan accepted the price gladly. Old hands William Iron Fist Titus from H&R brought some new blood to the table in the hands of pedal to the medal David Lease Japan Ainley. Three wins but also three loses for H&R. Hako, also known as the Hooligans of the Vitafeetleague were rather quiet today, two wins and three loses, maybe their silence was still from the shock their received from the bloody defeat of last month’s friendly from VDAJ at Hako’s home ground. JAC showed their determination and force, three wins no loses gives them a strong start of the season. Only having to travel too far (Ibaraki?) to return home meant they only played three games. Four wins for new company but veteran player I LOVE THIS GAME Graham means a great start of the season for SPI. Other veterans of the Vitafeetleague and well versed on the carpet Oshima Pros made a surprise win against H&R. It shows that practice makes perfect. Last night saw a lot of new talent around the table. TedxTokyo, although not new as a team brought new players including Cara flown in specially for tonight’s game from Stanford. Other new comers included snapshotting Nacasa & Partners, spending a lot of time on our practice table and despite initial loses showing great promise for the season. Lutron keeps surprising us in finding new talent for almost each game they played last season and for last night’s game Kakoki-san brought in Panasonic’s Fujita-san for some heavy gunning action. JNS/Multiplan proved a combination to be reckoned with two wins, definitely a team we will follow closely during the season.

Some of our VDAJ players joined the German Embassy Cup. Despite some outstanding play VDAJ did not win any prizes, next year we’ll be there again.

VDAJ!

…in action

VDAJ fan!

Stiff competition…

Smiles of confidence…

…but alas! no prizes this year. Next year we’ll be back!
