Operation Hope - Venture Scouts Champions of the World

Well,

Just finished the International soccer tournament and guess what... Ireland won... After two very intense games it was time for the final... Scouting Ireland all stars vs Indias finest... After full time the game was tied at 3 -3 and even after extra time a winner could not be announced!!! It was penos... After a very tense shootout Ireland won 3 - 0!!! :o)

The game was made even more magical by the hundreds of locals that turned out to watch the spectacle and the singing in both English & Bengali...

This was the perfect end to a great weekend off that saw us relaxing somewhat and swimming in a reservoir...

Back to work tomorrow for our last week on the building site... Nearly there!!!

  1. Hi Everyone,

    The football game sounded like a real cracker. Can't wait to see the photos too. Great to see that you are on the home stretch with the building work. Very well done to all of you.

    Keep safe and have as much fun as you can.
