Dear All,
Just to let everyone know of my thoughts on how the sports day event on
Sunday 6th April, in London went. I felt that it was a great success. The
organisation and planning of the day was superb, and extremely professional.
I would like to express a big thank you to the organisers and anyone else
who helped in arranging the event.
As one of the competitor in the 5-a-side football, I thought the planning
and running of the games were excellent. Even though I disagreed with
certain refereeing decisions (e.g. a disallowed goal that was perfectly
legal - "An Ung !!!"), but overall the four referees performed excellently
in a difficult job. The games were played in good spirit, even though some
teams took things rather too seriously, there were not too many vicious
fouls or rough plays. It was competitive but fair. Well done to South Bank
University (SBU) for winning, they well deserved to win, and were overall
the most consistent and best team taking part. In the end there were no
losers, everyone had a good time and made new friends. That was what the day
was all about, to meet other Vietnamese and have fun.
Due to the harsh surface of the playing pitch there were a few minor cuts
and bruises when players fell. But thank to the work of the on site medical
staff, our own "Ms Nightingale", who treated and bandaged all the injuries
superbly. I was sure some player were deliberately getting injured just to
be treated by her.
So thank you to everyone involved, those who took part and the spectators to
make it a most enjoyable day. I look forward to attending the next organised
event.
Cheers,
Dang.
