OLIM World Cup

by Avram Piha

I received the Telfed bi-weekly email newsletter and the ad looking for players for the OLIM World Cup caught my eye.  How could I pass up the opportunity to be involved in the Telfed team? I had heard of the competition last year when some of my friends played and won with England.  I wanted to be a part of the experience. It wasn't easy finding South Africans to play, be it because of prior commitments or lack of interest in the game, however, we eventually found enough players to have a team for the 16 team, 5 a side tournament in Tel Aviv.
