A much looked forward team’s visit to the island is over. The local lads ended up in second slot, there is no spot below that! The coach of the local team had included a ‘chucker’ in the team with the hope that this lad will bag wickets. This lad has no place in his club because of his ‘chucking’ and it was the same at these matches. Even the officials at the games were aware that the lad is a ‘chucker,’ but the coach of this team had insisted that the lad be retained in the team. All this was for a lost cause. Neither did the lad shine nor did the local side win.
 The strength of sports
A meeting took place at the Big Man’s residence highlighting the Strength of Sports. About 5000 sports officials were there to see what the Big Man had to say. However the main topic was about a certain TV channel which has been launched by a top sibling. The talk centered on this TV channel and all present were wondering whether this meeting called the Strength of Sports was to publicize this particular TV channel only.
Official in hot water
An official of a sports body is in hot water because he has not settled dues to the parent body. This official had gone to the distant hills to collect monies due to the officials of this sport. However on his return he has not settled accounts and the officials have pounced on him requesting him to settle the monies which had been given to him which in turn has to be handed over to the parent body. This official says that he has handed over the monies to the secretary but the secretary in return has vehemently denied accepting any money. Inquiries are now in progress.
 The friendly tea party
Recently at a top level meeting the guys managing the sport that is being kicked around came in for a berating from the top sports man. What has this sport brought to the country? Colossal amounts, that too which are being given by the world governing body is being spent on the sport with practically no results, he asked. The officials left downhearted and in a dull mood. However a few days ago a tea party took place between the two parties: the ones who attacked the game and those who listened. This time however the meeting was friendly to say the least. Is this another affair to scold the offenders in open and make it up at a friendly tea party?
The ruse that failed
An examination had been held in a leading sports body to select officials. A brother who was keen that his brother too should sit for the exam had entered his name by camouflaging his surname in case someone wants to know how the younger brother can sit for the exam when the big brother is conducting the exam. Certain allegations have been brought in and it looks the ruse will be brought to light soon.
Below 50
A sport which is very much in the news these days has brought down the age level of coaches to ‘Below 50.’ It is said that this particular sports body has brought down the age of coaches because they want to get rid of those in the age group of 60 and above. Without putting down names the governing body of this sport has brought down the age group by ten years. Some even say because of this some experienced coaches will be left high and dry. |
