I thought it was great that many players participated in the qualifying tournament, and how not only the players that reached the final, but also those in the friendly matches gave their all. I hope that the winning players will give their best effort when they represent Kyoto prefecture in their matches at the national tournament.
I also want to express my gratitude to Daihatsu for their cooperation in co-organizing the tournament.
We hope to keep up the competitiveness of Kyoto prefecture as a whole into the future.

I was able to experience first hand the tension and spirit of the participating players at the tournament, who I met on the day of the event.
It left an impression on me when they cheerfully wrote colorful messages as primary school students to the representative players at the photo panel event.
We send our best wishes to the players representing their home in Kyoto at the national tournament.
