Football Time!!!
It was a bad day for me personally. I had to see two of my favorite teams (England and Brazil) lose.
The very next day I turned up to cheer and act as the personal attendant of my room mate, one Anirban Basu at the BMCC grounds. Reason, seniors vs. juniors football match organized by the eXtrac team.
The ground was soggy with incessant rains (according to the players, this is the best way a football match can be played).
The seniors in blue and the juniors in white, the match was an absorbing hour of high pace of foot ball where most of the times the enthusiasm more than made up for the lack of extreme skill of the likes of Zizou (for the uninitiated this is the nick of Zinedine Zidane, captain of France).
The sole goal in the game came of the boot of Omkar Redkar. The final score was seniors – 1, juniors – 0. The score line could have read differently had it not been for the couple of wonderful saves by the senior goal keeper, Irfan.
Even though there were questions that the juniors raised regarding the referring, over all it was a great evening where we saw grown up men behaving like boys running behind a ball in the mud (does certainly bring back memories of childhood).
The best part of the match was the camaraderie that the juniors and the seniors displayed after the game. There was genuine appreciation from both the sides over the football played and photographs galore.
Nice job eXtrac. We are looking forward to more events of the same kind. And are the juniors going to be given a chance to avenge the defeat next Sunday?
