TOUCH: JANUARY 2012 TOURNAMENT REPORT

January 28 was a great day for the annual Southerners social international touch tournment.  The weather wasn’t too hot, and the field was in perfect condition. Seven teams joined the competition, 6 from Bangkok and one from Cambodia. Having postponed the tournament from November due to the floods, unfortunately two other international teams were not able to join on the new dates.

Mo-bros raising dough fo’ charity, yo

A select group of Southerners Bangkok rugby luminaries are doing their bit for Prostate Cancer and Men’s Health research, raising funds for the Movember charity and slapping a filthy slug down onto their top lip.  By all reports, wives and girlfriends are naturally loving it.

There’s nothing quite like a bit of face spinach to get the competitive juices flowing, hence the rumoured use by some competitors of steroidal facial cream.

This year we’ve seen some cracking entries:

Southerners ready for the 2011-12 Bangkok Netball season!

Welcome to all returning Southerners girls and of course to all of our new members joining Southerners Netball for the first time!

Monday 29th August will see the new BNL season get underway – our Southerners netballers are ready and awaiting some court time!

Over the past 10 years, Southerners have always played hard, had fun and continued to successfully dominate in the Bangkok Netball League – I believe this year won’t be any different with Southerners entering four teams!

The season will commence with two weeks of ‘Mix-in’ games, before moving into league games every Monday evening at NIST.

Upcoming dates/events

Southerners Netball training sessions – 7pm-8pm every Thursday evening during BNL season @ the NIST indoor courts.

South Africans in Thailand Ball 2011

Our good friends the South Africans in Thailand (Jabulani) are hosting their Origins Ball at the Amari Watergate Hotel on Saturday 8th October.

For those who have not attended an ‘Origins Ball’ before, the idea is to dress in your national dress (e.g. Kilt, Sari, Sulu or Toga if you’re a Ancient Greek time traveler).

There will be a top 10 selected for best dressed and a prize for the overall winner.   For those less adventurous types, black tie, cocktail/ball dresses are all welcome!

Tickets are Bt 2,800 each, with proceeds going to charity.

If you are interested in organising a table or after individual tickets then please contact Lynda.

NB:  For rugby fans, the Ball will not clash with Rugby World Cup matches!  Games that day are scheduled for 12.30pm and 2.30pm (Thailand time) – which will give plenty of time to powder the nose before the Ball!



Southerners Race Day 2011

The Southerners annual race day has come around the corner again, with preparations now in the final straight!!

We will be located in the Grandstand area, but please obtain your tickets from the cashier at the main entrance to the club.   Once you enter the Grandstand area you will not find it difficult to spot the festive group of farangs!!

Thai food, beer & soft drinks will be available, but please feel free to bring additional food/drinks if you would like to.  You may also wish to bring a mat or cushion to sit on.

All are welcome so please feel free to bring partners/husbands/kids/friends…
