Due to the incredible popularity of the Las Vegas 3 on 3 National Tournament, more than a couple of bocce clubs around California have found another reason to host a bocce tournament. Not that we need a reason but it’s nice to have an excuse and a goal.
Contra Costa County held their 3 on 3 tournament January 22, 2022, in the Contra Costa County’s Indoor Bocce Club with carpeting and everything. The participating teams are getting ready for LV and having fun doing it!! Teams came from Martinez, Pittsburg, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Benicia, Brentwood, Discovery Bay and some players came from Grass Valley and Napa Valley. Four top teams split a nice pot of prize money.
Split 1st & 2nd.
Juner. Split 1st & 2nd.
(Update) And a great bocce player Denny Kensil wins his last tournament. Sadly, Denny passed 2 months after this picture was taken. Denny played bocce for over 30 +++ years winning many tournaments including the Peppermill and several Contra Costa County
Championship Tournaments. He was a member of Jonny B’s for many years and also played for Squandered Talent.
