Arun rushes through the defense, dribbles and swerves, goes left and hits a brilliant back flick to hit the ball right through the opponent’s goal-keeper and it’s a GOOOAAAAALLLL. A goal that had me mesmerized for its sheer brilliance in execution.
The Dream A Dream boys in orange won their match against Sarla Birla Academy today at the St. Joseph Boys Centenary Hockey Tournament. The score at the closing bell read an impressive 5-2. One of the finest and most sensational games I have seen the boys play. The dribble, the swerves, the tackles, the back flips, the aggression and the hunger to win all showing clear on their faces.
At the beginning to the game, I asked the kids how many goals they will score today, they promptly and confidently said “5 goals uncle” and they did it. It was a thriller of a match right from the word go. The children consistently putting pressure on the opponents till brilliant flicks from Vijaykumar (1), Ramu (1) and Arun (3) sealed the game for the dream boys. The Sarla Birla Academy boys had no clue what hit them J to say the least. As usual the SBA boys were huge hunks while our little reddy shekhars looked like minians in front of them. But, that was not to deter the brilliant performers who took charge and the game home. The team-work and discipline was evident in the methodical execution of the task and they stayed focus on the goal to win.
A few days back, they won another game against the Frank Anthony Public School thrashing them 3-0
It makes me immensely proud to share this wonderful news with you. The stars of the day were ofcourse the children, each one of them, who out-shone their brilliance and just made me feel so proud and nostalgic of the day when we kick-started the Dream Hockey Program. We have indeed come a long way from those small beginnings.
A wonderful day indeed, Will stay in my memory for a long time to come.
