Western Tigers Football Club ready to reclaim K&S accolade

Dec 07, 2012 Sports

Three years ago, BK Western Tigers Football Club rose to fame when it conquered all and sundry to take the coveted Kashif and Shanghai trophy. The team soaked up all the glory but with that new found fame, came adversity.
Despite the best efforts of administrators to retain a close knitted bunch, many of the players sought transfers to represent other clubs reducing the strength of the West Ruimveldt based unit.

Shrewd administrative tactics saw those players returning to the fold and now three years after the historic achievement, the club is ready to reclaim the prestigious accolade. The team players commence their trek on Friday December 21 when they oppose the Grove HiTec squad and already coaches Calvin Allen and Cornel Millington are exuding confidence of repeating the match winning feats of 2008.
Yesterday afternoon the two coaches guided the players through their drills and indeed the squad appeared to be focused and ready for the tasks ahead.
Indeed with Devon Millington marshalling the strike force with support from Shawn ‘Bubbly’ Beveney, the two coaches have every right to be confident.
Word is also out that Colin Nelson, who plays professional football for Caledonia AIA in Trinidad and Tobago, will return to play for the team as will defender, Walter Moore, whose recent exploits as a member of the Golden Jaguars team distinguishes him among his peers. One also cannot forget the theatrics of Derek Carter between the uprights when the team registered the historic win. He had been voted the Most Valuable Player and will return to aid the team to replicate the feat.
“We had lost a few players who temporarily left after we won the tournament but they are back in the team ready to do us proud,” pronounced Mr. Millington.
Calvin Allen supports such sentiments, “We are coming real strong to cart off the spoils,” he stated matter of factly.
