You are remembered to Hit the target not aiming at it..!!




Years have passed by and we as a team has failed to lift the CUP of our life...Questions have been asked by our well wishers..!! Taunts, Abuse, People have turned their back on us, even friends and small kids make a joke of that club which most of the youngsters growing dream to play of...established in 2001 we were the most Fearless, aggressive, tactful, and shrude cricket playing team in Ghatla (Chember)..We won many cups, and tournaments coz of Never die Spirit...But after the season of 2003-04, our downfall started so much so that we have still not recovered from it...Our Captain who thought me to play left the club along with a hard hitting batsman to join the team whom we Lost to in the previous two seasons..Last year our Wicketkeeper left the club...The player our close friends whom we groomed and made him an eligible keeper one of the best in the town, player in Shivaji Park...left us to join the same club...
why...?
What was wrong..??
Loosing 2 times to the same opponent because o a lazy few in the side hurt..??
Did winning the Ghatla Cup matter the most. rather than friendship..??
We have been defeated by that club in every field. No Youth ready to play with us or for us..!!!
The richest club in Ghatla who started to distribute Cricket gear free of cost to players is now gasping to stay in the top flight. Almost relegated from top 32 last year. The side whose ambition was to see whom hey will face in the quarter finals, semi finals and finals will now have to look who is the opponent in the preliminary rounds...
This year too our team condition is the same...We are falling short of players, Sponsors, and the most important Supporters..?? There were tears in some of my colleague’s eyes...I as the CAPTAIN of JAI AMBEY SPORTS CLUB...has to come up with something...We have heard a lot and God knows how much depressed were we… Performance has dipped year after year...
I shall stand tall and face the consequences and the taunts which my boys have to face. only for this year...Next year we WILL RETURN WITH A BANG...GHATLA CUP is round the corner…So we shall give a mere 20% chance to lift the cup..
Next year we shall be the Leading frontiers and runners for the Ghatla cup and any other tournament in the area...
Jai Bhawani...Jai Ambey.
