Awards Ceremony

Today we held our awards ceremony for the players who came along to the camp throughout the week.  Our two special guests also attended, with the British Deputy High Commissioner Mike Nithavrianakis arriving in a 4x4 with the Union Jack flying on the bonnet.  Fantastic stuff and made you feel proud to be British!

The ceremony went very well and a great time was had by all.  It was a sad moment when the ceremony ended and all of the kids and coaches left but seeing how much everyone enjoyed the camp made all of the hard work worthwhile.  Christ Church are going to be running a football ministry in partnership with Onside Soccer, however, which is going to be overseen by Jim Jacob and will hopefully be held twice a month.  Onside Soccer has donated four full kits to this project and also enough equipment to get things off the ground.  We wish Jim well in this venture and are confident that he will do a great job.  The camp will be an outreach to the local area and has already had a large number of players sign up for the first session which will be held next week.

After the ceremony we came back to our accommodation to pack for our journey home, which leaves in the early hours of Wednesday morning.  See you all soon,

Rob and Paul
