DON BOSCO RINK FOOTBALL
 
THE SHOWMEN, FOOTY FANTASTIC, BIG JOE’S AND X-PATS IN SEMIS
 
 
In a day of thrills and heart breaks, the young Carmel School lads ‘Footy Fantastic’ made it to the last four along with dark horses The Showmen, and title aspirants X-Pats and Big Joe’s, in the 3rd edition of the Don Bosco Rink Football Tournament being held at the Indian English Academy School , Salmiya – Kuwait.
 
In the first quarter final match played on 15/10/05 at 6:00pm, crowd favourite Footy Fantastic with the killer instincts of Joel and ably supported by his team mates created the first upset of the day when they trashed Bombay Boys made up of senior Soor Ground soccer stars 4 – 0.  Joel scored 3 while Darsen added 1 to seal Bombay Boys fate.  
 
In the second quarter final match at 6:30pm, the Showmen once again proved that experience can overcome all odds when they overwhelmed A.G.A.M 3-1 is a fast paced encounter.  In the very second minute of the match, Kuwait popular M.C , Lloyd D’Souza showed that his foot can work as well as his mouth when he slotted home after receiving a perfect pass from Jose Rod.  Diminutive Vicky immediately equalized for A.G.A.M when he connected well from a cross by Kevin.  Ian , Julio and  Agnello defended well for the Showmen and Larry and Jose Rod scored in either half to ensure their entry into the semi finals. 
 
X-Pats who are definitely title contenders once again played a brilliant game to outsmart McDonalds 3-1.  Brulio who has scored some of the best goals seen in this tournament was once again on target.  However, Kennedy was the man of the match with two well executed goals.  McDonalds made up of some very skilful players including Ejaz, Javed, Faisal and Ayman could not get past veteran Francis, who did well in the X-Pats defence.  Ayman reduced the margin for McDonalds midway in the second half.
 
In the last match of the day played at 8:15pm, hosts Don Bosco (White) made up of some Rink Soccer super stars including Terence, Jeff, Philip, Godfrey, and Steven were shown the door by a resurrected Big Joe’s 0 -3.  The match easily the best of the day was played at a very furious pace bordering on the rough at times.   Big Joe’s made up of some skilful lads like Roy, Alex, Steven, Ronnie, Rajesh, Collin and strongman Roshan used their stamina and skills to outplay their more fancied rivals.  Roy, Alex and Steven scored for Big Joe’s ensuring their entry into the semi finals for a mouth watering clash with
 X-Pats.
