On Sunday morning August 31st we had to play against the Cha-Am team of Thai-Nepalese tailors. We were in luck, they only were 9 and we, Somtawin, had enough players to give them a hard time! And a hard time it was! We scored one goal after the other and we had a 3-0 lead in no-time. After the break the Cha-Am team seemed to be able to get hold of a new, 10th player! Was it their secret weapon? Anyway the game became a bit more exiting and the Cha-Am team almost succeeded in getting a draw. Because of hard work and good field work Somtawin won this game: 5-4!
On Sunday September 7th Somtawin had to play the Brasil team. Despite the fact that Somtawin did not play a good game, too many selfish actions and not holding their positions during the play, Somtain won 4-1. A good result, but not one to be proud of...
Last Saturday September 13th the Cha-Am team asked us back on their home territory, the Hilton Regent Resort near Cha-Am. They wanted revenge for the defeat 2 weeks earlier. A great game to watch! Some Cha-Am players really were very, very fanatic and the Somtawin team played a great match. As well as winning a game when playing badly, it also seemed possible to lose a good game. The Cha-Am won 3-1 and both teams made some beautiful goals!
The field is much better than the one at Somtawin (although a few cows seemed to have dropped some of their overweight...) and, although a couple of players were not available due to health reasons (...), our players were absolutely good. The game was very nice to watch, because Somtawin showed a lot of dedication and our young players showed themselves real worthy opponents to the "Spanish" team, that seemed to be in the lead of the Thai-Nepalese league. Although it looked that they would be defeated untill far in the second half, they managed to score 3 times (Martijn, Amrit and ...) in the last 10 minutes! A draw and a great performance guys!!!
