Ello ppl, Nandha dey here. If you read Tuesday's New Paper sports pages, they are looking to feature weekend warrior teams like ours. So on Mr Blackburn's suggestion, I've come up with a draft email. Supposed to tell them where we play, about our members and stuff. Please give me your feedback ASAP so I can shoot them a steadip email and GMH gets featured !!
Hello there TNP!
My name is Kumar and I am sending this email on behalf of my fellow football crazies - GMH, which stands for Gi Meng Hock, just a crazy moniker some of us came up with. So why should our team be featured?
We definitely possess passion and great love for the beautiful game. This team has pounded the courts and fields for almost ten years now, through rain or shine, day or night, injury or sickness, and even the odd policeman and nosey resident.
We play every weekend at the basketball court at Lorong Liew Lian in Serangoon, often fighting hard for the right to play on that popular piece of concrete with many other teams.
Our team should be a posterboy for harmony in diversity. - Our motely crue of about 16 has players who have been playing together over a range of different years, from 10 to just over a year.
A brief sample of some members - there is Amanda(yes, we have a pretty gal in the team!), a sporty lass who is just as passionate about the game as she is about life. Non-identical twin brothers Avan and Kim, who play like there's no tomorrow and through numerous knee ailments. Alvin, a talented and skillful player who currently plays for SAFSA. Karthik, a charismatic all-rounder who is a familiar face on Vasantham Central and the Tamil theatre scene. And Yussof, a bulldozer of a player whose other passions include martial arts and social work. We have fans of Man United, Liverpool, Barcelona, Blackburn, Newcastle and Chelsea. And not forgetting the S League - Balestier Khalsa, Albirex, Young Lions, Sembawang Rangers, Jurong FC and of course, the Lions! We range in age from 21 to 23, so we're a relatively young team with plenty of spirit!In fact, we just played at the Cage in Kallang last weekend(attached is the photo)
I think i've said enough about GMH for now;why don't you guys come talk to us if you want to know more? We really hope our team will be featured.
Yours Faithfully,
Kumar
