    Congratulations Bendore on hosting a tournament as such, but it is very unfortunate that there is no mention of Errol Samuel or his firm in this article in-spite of his large contributions. I've known Errol Samuel from a very long time and his contributions towards cricket in Bendore and how good a player he has been. However, let the spirit of cricket continue at Bendore

    I agree with Mr. Fernandes that the tournament will be a great success. Credit goes to the organizing committee, and most importantly to Mr. Christopher Dsouza,the chairman of the organizing committee who himself was an excellent cricketer in the 70's, and still continues to promote cricket in and around Mlore.

    Congratulations once again and praying the tournament to be a great success.

    Special mention needs to made of Mr. Errol Samuel,for being kind enough to sponsor this tournament. Thank you Mr. Samuel

    Bendore Church deserves all credit for organising such a nice cricket activity to gather the youths of our community and make them play on a common ground. Congrats to all those involved and the opening ceremony makes me feel that the tournament will be a great success. May the best team win and let there be more such sporting exchanges between parishes and oneness among our people. Remember, the medium of sports is a great leveller !
