02.The 25th Izumi Mayor's Cup Competition Softball Tournament

　The 25th Izumi Mayor's Cup Competition Softball Tournament has started under the clear sky.
　This tournament will be held on a total of 7 days from April 14 to June 2, and 37 teams will fight hot to win in 6 divisions. The opening ceremony was held on the day with the attendance of Makiuchi Softball Association Chairman, Kono Sports Association Chairman, Hitomi Softball Association Honorary Chairman, and many other stakeholders. . I also greeted you and served the opening ceremony.
　This tournament is a battle for the Mayor of Izumi Cup, but I am very honored as Mayor of Izumi that this year will be the 25th anniversary. Izumi Ward has strong softball, and I heard that Gold Izumi Max has achieved excellent results in each category, with three consecutive victories in the Fall Games of the Prefectural Senior Softball Federation last year.
　In order for Izumi Ward to remain an attractive city, I believe it is important to have a culture in which many people can participate. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked hard. Please do your best in the future, aiming for the victory of each team.
