Finally the Siruthai was presented to Kamal from the Toronto Devils CC for being the All Rounder player of the series.

Early Riser Favourite Sports Team? Liverpool FC Most Goals in a Game? 4 Most important quality needed for success? Ambition Editor: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Umaesh: I’m a 6’2’’, 20 year old goalkeeper currently playing for CTSA U21. I’ve been playing soccer since I was able to walk. My dad was an amazing player back in his days, and I’ve just been born into the soccer lifestyle. Umaesh: Representing TEFA at the Tynwald Hill International Football Tournament was a huge honour for me. Being selected to represent a nation, especially Tamil Eelam, having gone through many struggles, to the amount of lives’ that were taken, really makes a player feel as if he’s a symbol of the nation itself. It was a huge honour wearing the TEFA jersey and performing at an international stage. |
