Junior Six-A-Side Tournament
|
Rain clouds and an intermittent post-lunch drizzle did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of players, parents and other supporters at Sperling Park on May 19, 2008, when the inaugural Junior Six-A-Side Tournament of the MVCL got off to a great start at 9 a.m. Tournament organizer Anil Khanna had matters well in hand and by noon one could feel the excitement and anticipation amongst the juniors as to which team would be declared winner of the tournament. True sportsmanship was evident, particularly when some of these youngsters after performing well with the bat, retired and asked that they be replaced by their team mates so that they also would have an opportunity of contributing to the performance of the team.
