FreeKick 2006 – The strategic football war wages on….
August 25


Rain gods decided to have mercy on BIM’s inaugural football tournament FreeKick 2006 today. With no downpour coming down the 5th day’s play got under way.

Two matches were to be played today, the first one Cavaliers Vs Head Bangers and the 2nd one Trojans Vs BIM Bagan. Both these games were important for Cavaliers and Trojans as the goal difference would come into play in the group standings.

The 1st match of the evening was played between the mighty Cavaliers and Head Bangers. Cavaliers being one of the hot favorites for the trophy were expected to win with a huge margin. Prabhakar and Vellu supported by Jaycee and Varun found the back of the Head Bangers goal every now and then. Cavaliers lived up to the expectations of the team and the fans and won the game 11-0.

The 2nd match of the evening was played between Trojans and BIM Bagan. Trojans, another favorite for the trophy had to win by a huge goal difference to over take Blitzkrieg in the group standings. Arun Chacko, Thyagu and Naveen tried hard to make sure that the Trojans win by a good margin. BIM Bagan defended well by their own standards and Trojans won the game 8-0.

Trojans were now placed jointly with Blitzkrieg in the group standings and they had to win the next match to go through to the semi-finals.
