We turn now to our Young Reporter Student Intern about an international football tournament at British International School Phuket for children from many schools. Lets join her now.
Hurrah! Sawadee Ka, Today Im here at British International School, at a football tournament for about 700 students from international schools in Asia.
This was the 7th annual football tournament, held on 14-15 November at British International School or BIS. On the final day, we first saw a good goal scored by BIS girls under 13 year olds, here in blue shirts,
against Tanglin Trust School from Singapore in green shirts. The girls played exciting football.
BIS eventually won the game 2-0, to gain 3rd place in their category.
I talked to some of the BIS girls afterwards:
(Josie, 12, .. Alex, 13 .. Dina, 12)
Then we watched Saint Stephens Khao Yai in Thailand here in yellow, against International School of Kuala Lumpur or ISKL in blue. This was a tougher game as they were older, under 13 years old, and one of them got injured.
ISKL scored great goals, winning 5-0 in the final of their category.
After winning, they made an arch for the players and rolled over in celebration.
I asked them about this game celebration and what else they did during their visit:
(Meagan, 12, Saskia, 13, .Samantha, 12 )
Then we saw Tanglin from Singapore in red, losing to Harrow School from Bangkok in white, who scored the only winning goal.
Although they were very happy to win their final,
they still shook hands like friends at the end.
I spoke with 2 members of the Harrow team:
(Tharee, 14, .. Oum, 14)
There were also some boys teams like the Under 15s ISKL here in blue against Regents School of Thailand in yellow, whose players got injured during a goal attempt.
The Thai referee had to send off an ISKL player for dangerous play but there was some confusion over which player.
The under 11 girls teams were more exciting and fun.
Patana School from Bangkok in black & white,
lost to Kuala Lumpurs Alice Smith School who call themselves K.L.A.S.S.
Many parents and teachers watched them win and I chatted to the happy KLASS team afterwards:
(Rachel, 11 Elise, 10 )
The Over 15 girls was decided by penalties with Patana School in orange
winning 5-4 against Taipei from Taiwan in white.
There were many games, teams and winners from Jakarta or Brunei, Kathmandu, Bangkok & Manila.
The coaches or trainers of each team also played a fun game.
The Thai referees also got a game.
The best players in each category, won a trophy.
The top winning teams also collected a trophy and medals
Whoever won or lost,
they were really all happy to finish 2 days of football in the hot sun.
BIS as hosts did well, with the girls getting 3rd place
against some excellent teams.
Even Youth Football Home from Thalang won a 2nd place.
This big tournament was a big success for BIS boys too and great fun to watch the girls like me.
Maybe next year I will play with a football team of Phuket. This is Kittaya. Im todays young reporter for Andaman News. Sawadee Ka. Hurrah
