AVC KUWAIT. SEASONS CHAMPIONS
AVC - Kuwait sponsored by Shipping giants Kuwait Transcontinental Shipping Company Kuwait have been crowned the new Seasons Champions by Kuwait Indian Football Federation for the season 2005-2006. Having secured the maximum points AVC Kuwait proved once again they are the team to reckon with in a field of 16 teams registered with KIFF. This is AVC Kuwait's second seasons champions title in a row for the last two consecutive years which itself is a record for a club which has just completed 5 years. Another glorious year for the Management, Coach and Team Manager for the effort. AVC Kuwait have been in the forefront in the field of sports and cultural activities for the past 5 years. On the football field they have been Overseas Champions in Bahrain in the year 2004, thereby creating history among the Overseas Goan Football teams in Kuwait for being the only goan team from Kuwait to win an outstation tournament. The same year they were the quaterfinalist in the overseas tournament held in Dubai. In Kuwait last year AVC won the All India football tournament conducted by the Kerala Expartriate community and have been the KIFF League Champions for season 2004-2005. On the cultural front AVC Kuwait have organised two Konkani Shows and revived the famous Red & Black Dance. More activities are on the anvil. AVC Kuwait have maintained discipline on and off the field of play in this entire tenure of 5 years and in some instances paid a price for upholding the discipline, the latest being the glaring intentional omission of AVC's photo on the electronic as well print media after being declared the seasons champions by KIFF. On being questioned the blame is transferred on the media when it is known very clearly that some disgruntled souls are behind the whole saga. The governing body fails to understand or is ignorant of the fact that it takes a herculean effort to become season champions as one loss in the preliminary stages in any of the regular tournament reduces the points unlike in the KIFF league. But AVC are not perturbed by these minor irritations because they have the expertise and will power to overcome the obstacles, and for season 2006-2007 the fans and critics will see a new look AVC Kuwait football team with the new sporting gear being specially designed and unveiled on 25th August 2006. The Managing Committee comprises of Mr. John Furtado - President, Mr. Xavier Furtado - Vice-President, Mr. Ramsey Cardozo - Gen. Secretary, Mr Russel D'Silva - Sports Secretary, Mr. Arthur Moraes - Treasurer, Mr. Demin D'Cruz - Advisor, Mr. Donald Colaco - Team Manager, Mr. Alvaro Dias - Coach, Mr. Mariano - Member, Joe Fereira - Member, Mr. Levellyn D'Silva - Member, Mr. Hilton - Member Finally AVC Kuwait would like to thank all its fans, Goa-net, Goa-world and Arab Times for the whole hearted support in making this dream come true. _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
