Another fine season for the St Christopher’s Intermediate Boys Football Team as they managed to retain the title with a 100% record and an absolute goal fest along the way. Credit must go to the most potent strike force Bahrain has surely ever seen, the ‘Mattars’, Ali and Hussain, who plundered more than one goal per game each. They were ably assisted by the sublime skills of Team Captain, Jean, often playing in the Number 10 role and his fellow midfielders Lorenzo, Abdullah, Aymen, Arnau and the classy skills of Hassan ‘Christophe Dugarry’ Nahle. Credit must also go to the indomitable defensive duo, Ali and Alec, with fullbacks Hamza, Nas, Danyaal, Faris and Majeed, and goalies Will and Faris all playing there part. But special regards go out to one of the deadliest fullbacks not only in Bahrain but the whole of the Middle East – Mohammed Fazli is surely the sub-continent’s answer to Daniel Alves, Cafu, Des Lyttle and Jeff Kenna combined. All in all a season to be proud of boys, here is to more glory next year!
