a letter from one of the footy boys in china, i'm due to join them in hong kong in 2 days time!
Dear all
The Bintangs are still on tour in China, preparing intensively as we speak at asecret training venue in Beijing in readiness for this weekend's big clash withthe HK Dragons, our first full length game in the Special Administrative Region.
We played a three-way tournament in excellent conditions in Shanghai on the weekend. The local team, the Tigers, beat an undermanned Tokyo Goannasoutfit by about 6 goals in the opener.We then flogged the Goannas by about 80 points in our first game. Fester wasBOG with 5 goals before Gracey took him off to prevent him from breaking anygoal-kicking records.
In what was then a play off for the Cup, a brave Bintangs outfit went down byabout 6-7 goals to a larger and rested Shanghai squad after being right in ituntil boom Yogya SFE recruit Ray "the Reverend" Terns was knocked out cold in a nasty clash in the third quarter. With a limited bench, Fester playing on with a broken finger and our on-ballers stuffed, a pretty decent Shanghai side tookover in the last quarter to run out deserved winners.
I am pretty confident wecan turn the tide on them in Bangkok, however. Incidentally, Ray has made a full recovery after a night in hospital for observation. The full squad played very well and will continue to improve. TheBintangs are on the march in 2007.
