LIHU‘E — The Kaua‘i Gateball Club recently hosted a contingent of players from the Big Island in a series of games. Held at Koloa Little League Baseball Park, it was the second series of home-and-home games between the clubs, which had started on the Big Island.
Club members from Kohala and Waikoloa were put to the test by the Kaua‘i club, which was represented by teams Red, White and Blue.
Hours later after several games had been played, the White team, captained by Ron Aceret, was the only undefeated team. The team members included James Poe, Carolyn Cummings, Gilroy Yorkman and Ken Hashimura.
After a full day of games, dinner with “lechon” as the main dish was enjoyed by everyone. The evening was filled with karaoke singing by various talented players, along with fun and fellowship among old and new friends.
A third series of games is being planned with the Kaua‘i club traveling to the Big Island in the near future. According to Kaua‘i member Reggie Rivera, the Big Island clubs are looking forward to this home-and-home series of games.
The Kaua‘i Gateball Club is headed by president Daniel Nishiguchi, secretary Barbara Burch and treasurer Itsuo Sakata. The club has practice sessions on Thursday mornings at the Hanapepe Park, near the soccer fields, and on Saturday mornings at the Koloa Baseball Park.
Anyone interested in the game of gateball is invited to attend of the sessions.
