On Friday, March 23rd, members of the Friends of the North End (FONE) traveled to Deerfield Beach, FL to play bocce.
The match was once again organized by Domenic Piso and took place at Century Village. For the third year in a row, the North Enders were defeated by their opponents who were from Michigan, New York, and New Jersey by way of Italy. The challengers were exceptional players who made their beloved pastime look easy.
Everyone is looking forward to playing again next year. Hopefully we can convince players back home like Vito Aluia, Angelo Di Girolamo, Frank Julianello and Natale De Marco to be there to help give FONE its first victory in this annual tournament.
