Sports tournament October 2011

Thirty six participants and two volunteers dressed in grey t-shirts made their way to Peterborough on a very comfortable coach, courtesy of our generous donors.

Birmingham had a very special cheer instead of claps or salawaats, which energized the whole centre and well appreciated by all.

The Ladies MAMT tournament 2011 was an amazing experience for our girls from the Birmingham Jamaat. We were lucky enough to have the beautiful weather on our side as it was the hottest day of the year. The tournament gave our young girls a good opportunity to socialize, make new friends and to build on their people skills in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Our participants from Birmingham as a whole did exceptionally well with winning a number of trophies and coming out on top in a number of games. Congratulations to all those who won and performed well in the tournament, also to those who participated and demonstrated excellent mannerism and sportsmanship.

Saturday Morning - all ready for the big DAY, THE TOURNAMENT. We left for Peterborough from Birmingham; all of us bursting with excitement!!! After lovely breakfast, the tournament began. People were playing Badminton, netball, football and swimming. Everyone was playing with such enthusiasm and sportsmanship, competing for their own Jamaats. The morning session of games was followed by lunch. Our lunch, well what can I say - such tasty burgers, fries, pizza and sandwiches I just couldn't stop eating!!! Then we went back to our games. I was playing football with my team trying to do as best as we could!
Finally came the time for the swimming competition; I was so nervous i wanted to forfeit, but then I thought to myself whatever happens I'm here to have fun!
I competed and out of 5/6 people and I came second for all three races.
At the end of competitions, we had a very heart warming speech from all the organizers, trophies and medals were presented to the winners and runners up.
Thank you to all the organizers and participants who made this possible for us.
Zahra Lalji.
