Time flies vey quick and it’s almost the end of the week and I’m still in Thailand. When am I coming back? Pretty soon 😀 The cities that I have visited were Bangkok and Chiang Mai. My previous trip was back in 2012 for the CN Blue concert but I was mostly in Bangkok. Three years ago, I was in Bangkok/Hua Hin and that was pretty amazing!!
It’s sad that it will come to an end, my trip that is and soon I will back to the busy life of covering events and also being heavily involved in lovefoodhatewaste.org since it’s Ramadhan. So peeps, be patient as I won’t be fully updating my blog for a day or two, depending on my time and accessibility here. I shall post more about my Thailand trip and for now, enjoy the pictures 😀
Sri Lanka’s Thishala T Algama was still all smiles despite the defeat. She earned the best shooter award of the tournament
SRI Lanka’s netball Janakie Goonesekere coach admitted that her sides were second best in their 59-50 defeat to Malaysia in the final of the 8th edition of the Asian Youth Netball Championship 2013.
“It was simple.
“Malaysia played better than us during the game.
“We tried our best in the game,” said Goonesekere in an interview with The Brunei Times after the match at the Indoor Stadium of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium in Berakas on Sunday.
Both teams were careful in their passes and movement earlier in the game and Sri Lanka were the first to find the basket.
However, Malaysia would find their way back into the game with Centre Pow Mei Foong played an important role leading with good passes to keep her team ahead.
Sri Lanka stuck to their own game plan of trying to slow down the game.
However, it did not work in their favour as Malaysia maintained their lead until the final whistle.
“We try to play with our own pace during the game, but the Malaysian team have their own style of play, and I think they are very strong this year.
“We will try to improve and train harder for future tournaments, added the coach, who is in her first year heading the Sri Lanka national under-21 squad.
The eight-day tournament which was hosted by the Brunei Darussalam Netball Association (BNA) featured teams from Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Nepal, Maldives, Thailand, India, Hong Kong and Sri Lanka. Text courtesy of Ak Fauzi of The Brunei Times.
