It’s Ours!
May 27, 2007For one year we get the bragging rights .. that’s right Team Green is the 2007 Dong Bei cup championship team. By a low score of 3 to 1 we took the coveted prize. The contest was a very defensive match and the lowest scoring final since the tournament’s inception in 2004. All final games have been 6-5 until this year.
The game pretty much had only one highlight - Euan Frew suffered a broken hand after blocking a shot by Big Gabe Kemp. Originally only thought to be a cut he suffered the injury at the end of the first half but still managed to return to play for the second half. It’s commitment like this that won it for us.
Friday night saw a big celebration at Samsara Bar lasting well into the early hours. Unfortunately it was followed up by a staff sports day where attendance was mandatory. I managed to compete in the standing long jump and the 8x200 meter relay but that was all I could muster. Each year this thing gets harder and harder. But hey … we won!
