Post No. 100!

13:41 | Labels: , ,

100 posts is a very small achievement for any ardent blogger. However, the journey this far has not been as smooth as expected. Amidst a busy working schedule, I have always struggled to make time to contribute to this blog. Therefore after over three years of blogging I am still stuck at the 100th post.

Nevertheless, considering my shortcoming, I am pleased to have reached this mark. I have always enjoyed writing and blogging has just enhanced that interest. Thanks to my blog hosts Blogger and previously WordPress for having provided an ideal platform for bloggers like me to share and gain knowledge. 

So far this blog has served its purposes of encouraging and promoting local sports. The efforts are on to improvise and bring more content to you on a much more regular basis.

Thank you and happy blogging.

Godwin extends Dempo stay

22:28 | Labels: , , , , , ,

Dempo Sports Club playmaker Godwin Franco has pledged his loyalty to the Blues by signing a fresh three-year deal on Thursday.

The close of the season brought an end to Godwin’s three-year deal that was signed in 2010. The mutual trust between the Guirim-based midfielder and Dempo has resulted in a new and improvised offer for Godwin.

“I am very happy to be at the club and even they (Dempo) like me at the club. The club has a very good vision and also a good coach in Arthur Papas who is looking forward to build a very good team. He is a very very good coach and Dempo has always been a good team because of the boss Mr. Srinivas Dempo. The respect that he gives everyone is unbelievable. He makes u feel like his own family. He has been very supportive and I am very thankful to him,” Godwin told PSP.

The deal comes amidst interest from different clubs like Pune FC and Prayag United. It is believed that Godwin was also approached the last season by current I-League champions Churchill Brothers. “There were offers from various clubs but I am committed to Dempo. There were offers coming in throughout these three years but I always felt it right to speak to my club and respect my contract,” the former Pune FC man stated.


Asked about his club’s performance last season, Godwin preferred to leave the past behind and look at a positive future. “We should not look into the past now. We just want to look forward to the new season, give our best and win everything that is at stake,” said the ambitious player.
