Soccer Training Equipment

Permalink | Email to friend

As you might have heard, the biggest soccer news this week is that of Jose Mourinho leaving Chelsea. It doesn't matter if he left on his own free will or he was sacked, the main thing is he is gone and Manchester United will be first in line to take advantage of a disarrayed Chelsea team when they travel to Old Trafford this Sunday. ;)

Our troop is not short of footballing talents of its own. David Beckham wannabes, idols of Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, ardent fans of Kaka and Thierry Henry, the list goes on and on. Once a year, these footballing starlets come out to show their skills in the Inter Patrol Football Competition and challenge for honours and ultimate football glory.

Sure the Juniors were thrashed 4-0 by the Ventures but it makes you wonder if the outcome of the match would have been any different if the Juniors had proper equipment to train before the match. Like everything else, practice makes perfect and Soccer Goals can lend a helping hand.

With a wide variety of soccer equipment like goalmouths and rebounders, and proper training, the Juniors may have given the Ventures a run for their money! The site is quite informative but a little sluggish and non-responsive but overall, it's not too bad. Hopefully with this paid review, more soccer superstars will be produced from within our troop.

Participants of the 1992 PFS Scout Car Grand Prix

Permalink | Email to friend

In recent weeks, we highlighted some foreword messages found in the 1992 PFS Scout Car Grand Prix souvenir magazine and published a brief history of the PFS Scout Car Grand Prix to debunk claims that the pedal car race organised by the Penang Turf Club in August 2007 is the first ever pedal car racing in Malaysia as claimed by them and rubber-stamped by the Malaysian Book of Records.

As promised, in this instalment we will publish the list of participating schools and scout cars for the 1992 PFS Scout Car Grand Prix.

List of Scout Cars
Forget the Rest (1gts)
Catqueck-Mhor (1gts)
Jody II (7gts)
Zorlac (7gts)
Hispaniola (8gts)
Cataclysmic (8gts)
Bomia (PFS Rover Scout Crew)
Ultimatiche (PFS Rover Scout Crew)
I don't know about you but that list which was compiled two weeks before the race (which means it is possible that the list of participants is even longer than this one) has more participants than the ten schools that participated in the August pedal car race. Even if this is not the case, this long list of participants is an indication that the PFS Scout Car Grand Prix is definitely no past-time sport as cynically claimed by the organising chairman of the pedal car race.

It would be interesting to know the response of the very first Scout Car Grand Prix in 1969 (then Soap Box Derby), wouldn't it? The report on the event is coming up next!

Memoirs of a Sea Scout: Entry 016

Permalink | Email to friend

We had our 6km and 8km journeys recently. It was really fun. Walking around in our full sea scout uniform (FSSU) and everyone looking at us. Makes me feel so proud to wear my white uniform.

We had to draw maps of the routes we used. Sometimes we have to take pictures of certain landmarks and sometimes we have to take signatures or chops from certain places like hospitals, police stations or schools as proof of our journey. Then we have to put it all in a logbook.

I think 6km and 8km is still no problem. The 40km journey I think will be much more difficult. Maybe that's why the legendary sea scouts cheated on their expedition. But given the chance, I will give the 40km a try. I know it will be tough but at least when I complete it I can confidently say I truly deserve the achievement, right? Maybe I'm stupid to think this way but I think they were the stupid ones for not giving it a try. At least then they will truly be legendary sea scouts.
