Reshma D\u2019Costa, sports secretary, recited the opening prayer invoking God\u2019s blessings.<\/p>\n

Praveen specially requested all the gathering to observe 2 minutes silence to remember and offer special prayers to mourn all the departed souls during the pandemic time. Especially, Praveen remembered MCCP\u2019s core committee member and the strongest pillar and supporter at any given time, Donald Pinto, who had just passed away. He also fondly remembered executive committee member and the internal auditor of Team 28, Sharon Alva, and finally Vivian Pereira (husband of Jessie Vivian Pereira, president of MCCP), who always stood as strong supporters to the community and to EC Team 28 in particular.<\/p>\n

The members entered into the ground with full enthusiasm and enrolled their participation at the registration counter managed by Trecilla Menezes and Janet Rodrigues. Dolly Gomes, a well-known sports personality among the Mangalurean community in Muscat, formed the teams and helped to conduct the matches in a very professional manner and within the given time frame. The participants were divided into groups depending on age in each category of Men, women and children. Rudolf Vaz, inaugurated the tournament with batting, while Stanley Fernandes took up the bowling.<\/p>\n

Match officials Fredd Lonappan, Jeevan Anna, Aslam Parvez and scorer Rithesh gave a professional touch in running the matches respectively.<\/p>\n

Brian Curry made it more entertaining with his lively commentary.<\/p>\n

The event defined a platform to showcase the talent and efforts put in by the entire MCCP executive team to make it a successful event. Fun-filled sports were also planned for the kids according to the respective age groups, keeping in mind not only about competition, but also about having fun, being physically active, building coordination and teamwork and hence to give the members and children an opportunity to display their talent, self-confidence, patience, zeal and sportsmanship. Ooredoo Kiosk was also set up and a special offer exclusively for the day was announced for the members.<\/p>\n

There were several closely fought matches in all categories generating a lot of interest among the spectators who had gathered in large numbers to witness the tournament. Breakfast and lunch were served at the venue so that the matches continue uninterrupted throughout the day.<\/p>\n

The closing ceremony was graced by Fr Stephen Lewis, parish priest of Sts Peter & Paul Church, Ruwi, Srikanth Shetty (Proprietor of Truckline, Ghala) and Rudolph Vaz. Fr Stephen Lewis said a few words addressing the gathering on the importance of the service to the community and to promote sports events to keep oneself healthy and fit. Fr Stephen Lewis, Srikanth Shetty (General Manager – Truck Line Ghala) and Rudolf Vaz, gave away the medals and trophies for all the winners in respective category.<\/p>\n
