Day 176

MAHBOOB, the striker in action.

Mabub showed his great style putting the Remian Raider’s only goal into the net with gusto, with the help of Asif.  This was not his goal shot, but an earlier shot of him centering the ball.  The Raiders finished the game with a 1-1 score requiring a shoot-out.  They won the shoot-out so are in the semi-finals his afternoon at the Abohani field in Dhanmondi. 

Mahboob, the striker!!

FRENCH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT

We spent most of the day at this tournament.  It was for ages 6-16 with six schools participating.  Jensen and Pruitt, two of our grandsons played.  Neither of their teams made it past the qualifying rounds.  They were still excited to receive a participation medallion as well as a book bag with goodies in it: cap, tee-shirt, pen, scarf, etc
