GENEROUS OR WHAT?

An 18 member sports team to Malaysia, had to meet the Boss of this sport in order to request for some funds for a forthcoming tour of Malaysia. The Boss berated the officials (one of them was a principal of a school) but in the end of an hour long discussion after ranting over his official status, granted the team Rs. One Lakh. It was known that this body had not supported the Boss at the AGM, but nevertheless the money was granted. It has also surfaced now that this sports team has also requested money for the tour from parents as well!
HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICITY
FOR GROUND
A fully furbished sports ground in the outstations is to be fitted with high voltage electricity in order to have high powered lighting at night games. The contract has been entrusted to a company which not has submitted its tender to the authorities concerned but has somehow wrangled this job with the help of an ‘insider’. This ‘insider’ has a shady past as he had allegedly gone on a tour in order to study grounds for the sport. Followers of the sport, however say that it was a bogus tour!
TURNING THE
BACK ON MEDIA
This sports body recently had a whole lot of sophisticated mobile phones unloaded on them. It is reported that some did not get these phones while others received them. This was highlighted in certain sections of the media and the boss had wanted a correction. When the media descended on the body concerned the boss turned his back on them!
ALL THE BEST
The coach of a popular women’s sport has her one time opponents as friends now and those who supported her at one time as her opponents. At a world meet held Down Under this coach produced negative results – losing all matches and the team occupying the bottom of the table. Nevertheless she was selected to train the team for an all important competition due to be held shortly due to her super showing in the past. Let us wish her well!
T/20 LONER
Hope everything is well with our team at the T/20 World Cup in India. Reports from the sub-continent indicate that one key player and a top scorer at that, is languishing on his own without mixing with the others. Maybe he has his own reasons for being a loner!
