The SAISA boys football tournament took place in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was my first time going to this school and therfore i was eve more exited. This year was the first year i have tried out for the boys football team and I made it. Usually I play football as a pass time activity and was encourages by my classmates in order to try out for the team. We traveled on the 10th of February 2011 and returned home on Monday 14th 2011. Due to certain circumstances involving other players suspension from the school we only traveled with 12 of our players instead of 16 , this meaning that we would only have one subsitute if a player gets injured or tired throughout a game. All this led to the fact that we would be playing double the ammount of time as planned tirring us out even more. On the first day we played to games, winning both of them. On the second day we played 2 more games, Drawing against one of the toughest schools in the tournaments. American Embassy School of Delhi but then later on loosing to the school who later became Champions American School of Dhaka, the score being 5-3 , with us allowng them to score 2 goals on the last final 5 minutes. On the last day we proceeded to win our last game. Throughout this Tournament have improved my football skills, made many new friends and became closer to my team members. I have also improved my endurance and stamina which was one goal i had in mind since the beginning of the football season. Even though we didn't come in the top 3, many school acknowledged our disadvantage in the number of players we had had received a reputation as one of the toughest schools to defeat gaining ourselves the title of the iron men.
