NEWCOMERS "SUGARRAYS" BLOCK VIKINGS FROM WALKING AWAY WITH THE BAMBOO CUP

FOR THE THIRD TIME

 

The 6th Bamboo Cup Tournament at "Pugu Hills" on March 29th, 2008 was as predicted VERY TENSE.

In a thundering Final, the Newcomers "SugarRays" beat 2 time Winners VIKINGS and stopped them from taking the Bamboo Cup for good.

Only through a "Sudden Death" shoot out, with the regular 5 penalties still not revealing the strongest team, "SugarRays" managed their nerves best and got the VIKINGS down. Most teams were impressed by their confidence as first time participants, against the "old guard".

Clear Channel (previously Blue Mango) was well aware of the higher demands in 2008 and added some strong players to their squad, unfortunately not enough to improve or at least repeat their 2007 second place, they did beat the Dutch in the runners-up final end ended third this year.

Holiday Inn clearly improved their skills compared to last year and are still strong contenders for a semi-final place next year together with the French who definitly showed the strongest Team Cohesion inside and outside the field.

While VIKINGS were progressing confidently towards claiming the "Bamboo Cup" for the 3rd time the Newcomers "SugarRays" had a surprise in mind.
