| The largest group
of Monkeys ever- 64 people- were set to dominate the party
scene |
| Tuesday and
Wednesday afternoons spent touring the island and
during the evening at Moose's and other Waikiki
hotspots |
| Tony Brown lead
several fishing trips- won't Joe High ever learn-
chumming for a second year |
| The Best
Halloween party ever at the W Hotel on Thursday night
| Finn as Popeye;
Spiderman appeared but changed to Roseanne; the
Cavewomen; TR as Willie; Mike 'Pimp Daddy' Ryan;
Julie "Hula" Haire; Caesar & Brutus [et to Brute];
Dr. D(arah); many kimonos; & John Keller as 'Zonk' |
| T-Rex was the
ultimate party host! |
|
|
Friday's Welcome Reception at Kapono's was fun with
sweet views of Honolulu Harbor beckoning |
| Saturday saw
Match Play start at Kapi’olani Park
| All Monkeys
teams were victorious except the Monkeys West lost
a tough game to the Michelob Light team (Graham
played the turncoat)- Mundy, Hugh & Tom Baldwin
played with abandon (no dB this trip) |
| Watching Jr.
work his men was awe inspiring with Gavin's
face-off and end to end prowess |
| We were joined
by Masa [Masanori Uchino] 007 on & off the field
from the Science University of Tokyo
| Great speed
and quick moves- the newest Monkey! |
|
| Post game soak
in Harry Jackson's hot tub- ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh |
|
| Saturday night at
the Falls of Clyde 'tip cup' was raised to an art
form- with the women winning 99% of the games- so
much so that the guys went pant less.... |
| On Sunday the
men's & women's teams made their respective Finals
| The women won a
close semi-final match with Mo scoring the winning goal
just before time expired- "I want to be Mo"!!!!
|
| The finals saw
the women lose a hard fought contest to the Keio
University team- the Keio women had one of the best cheers
ever- but in Japanese (other than the words 'New York')-
their spirit was clear |
| The men again
bested the Olympic Club- lead by Bayhawk Dave
Daniecki in the semi's |
| The finals saw
the Monkeys lose a close, hard fought game to Marin- who
fielded what amounted to an MLL All Star team-
great effort by both teams.
| The Monkeys
played well, rallying from a 6-2 halftime
deficit to take a 9-8 lead- but after the
Monkeys failed to score on a critical man-up
with little time remaining- the Powell Brothers
took control- leading Marin to an 11-9 win.
Leading the Monkeys on offense were Finn, TR,
Willsey, Jr., Gavin Prout and 'Dakota' Fay while
on defense John Horrigan, Reido & Gerry Bryne
were steadfast. |
| All in all a
tough loss to a very good team-
but hey its Hawai'i |
| Kudos to Matt
Fields of Marin for putting together such an
exceptional squad |
|
|
| Its less than 365
days until we return to our favorite venue- tick
tock, tick tock.... |
