UNDER THE GLARE OF VEHICLE LIGHTS
View(s):
Ever heard of a prize giving held under the glare of vehicle lights? Well this happened at a motorcross held in the outstations. The fact was that there were two events held under a crowded programme and the activities had to be dragged late into the night. With no electricity in the area the organisers had to conduct the prize giving under the glare of head lights of the vehicles which took part in the event.
WEAK IN FIELDING
Sri Lanka’s fielding is very weak. In fact it is the weakest in Asia said a coach appointed to look into the fielding aspects of Sri Lanka’s leading sport. There were ripples of laughter from a certain section as this same coach was in charge of the fielding aspects of this very same team a few years back. Now he himself is harping on it!
THE VANISHING WRESTLER
Recently a set of wrestlers took wing to the USA to take part in a competition. When the team was to return it was noticed that one of the wrestlers had decamped. This wrestler was a favourite of the coach and it looked as if the decamping was a planned affair. The body in charge of sports had paid for all the air-tickets and other expenses whilst on tour.
THE LAZY TYPE
A former school principal has been appointed to be in charge of training teams for the forthcoming SAF Games to be held in Assam, India in January. Presidents and secretaries who were present at a meeting when the name of a fellow school head was announced they started shouting that he is a very lazy type and is not suited for such a demanding job. This has been brought to the notice of the Big Boss in Sports.
CURD AND HONEY
On the same subject there is this pretty lady who happens to be friendly with a cricket coach. This lady had a tiff with an office mate regarding a computer and in a huff had said that she will divulge this man’s weaknesses to their boss. Undaunted this lad had replied that in that case he will tell all concerned how he had seen this lady being fed with curd and honey (kiri, peni) by the said coach.
