KYC-UK WON READING CUP

The KYC-UK (Kirant Yakthum Chumlung – United Kingdom) football team had another go in Reading Cup Football Tournament on Sunday 26 August 2007 after a very disappointing turnout in Gurkha Cup. This time, the team was well organised and the players were informed in time under the direction and coordination of Capt (Retd) Bombahadur Limbu. As ever, the aim was set out in simple and straightforward – entertain the spectators by showing individual skills as well as teamwork and win the trophy.

A total of ten players represented the KYC-UK football team from different parts of the country – South Yorkshire, Surry, Berkshire and Kent.  The team managed to turn up well in time with families and children and tent was set up displaying KYC-UK banner in one corner of the field near pitch number one where most of the matches were played. After a short discussion about line up of players and warm up, the team entered to the pitch with full of confidence to play against Kolma Bakot.  The first match of the day ended up with seven to two win by settling a good base for remaining matches. Then there comes United Reading FC, which was won by clean sheet with five scores. The final match on the league table was against Tamu Dhee UK who only managed to score one against eight goals in penalty shot. Now the final match came again with Kolma Bakot being the second on the league as there were only four teams in veteran pool. With full of confidence and support from families, the team managed to deceive the opponent tactics ‘defensive play’ by striking first goal towards the end of first half. The half time favours to our team to restructure and change of play, which worked very well by executing another two goals before the final whistle.

The prize giving was held shortly after the final match of non-veteran. The KYC-UK team was awarded with individuals’ trophy, the winning trophy of veteran category, the best player (Bhakta Limbu) and the Top Scorer (Lok Limbu). This was an excellent performance from all players and the ever to win such trophy by KYC-UK which we are proud of it. Throughout the day, the players received enormous support from families and children with varieties of delicious food, which has shown a strong family as a whole. With full of joy and excitement after the photograph as a whole family with the Chairman KYC-UK, the players dispersed on their own way hoping to be bounded together for future events.
