| 2012 CLEVELAND CHALLENGE CUP OF BOCCE RE-CAP |
August 29, 2012

Wickliffe, Ohio…The road to becoming a champion sometimes takes many twists and turns. This year's tournament was no exception, as some familiar names worked their way through the 96-team "meatgrinder" to fight for survival. There is no doubt that the level of competition has been on the rise over the last 3-4 years, as younger, athletic players have started to embrace the sport. Still, there is something to be said for the older, experienced players who have won in the past. That seemed to be the theme at this year's Cleveland Challenge Cup of Bocce: the tug of war between the newer, tournament teams and the older, experienced teams.

Men and women clad in team colors stared down a dusty alley, eyed up the other team's bocce balls from every angle and then shot their bocce down the track trying to get the best shot next to the pallino, the small white sphere at the other end of the bocce course.
For the 29th year the Italian-American Club of Wickliffe hosted the annual Cleveland Challenge Cup of Bocce sponsored by Pat O'Brien Chevrolet. The tournament welcomed 96 men's teams and 16 women's teams from across the United States and Canada.
