Snippets: Bradford Cancer Research Tournament

Hamiz Hamizan is currently a first year undergraduate doing BEng Mechatronics at the University of Sheffield. This is his account of Bradford Cancer Research UK Mini Tournament (BruBrad):

The football tournament on 27th November 2010 was organised by BruBrad society at 5 A Live Soccer Centre, Bradford. They were 8 teams participating. BruSheff team was lead by Izzat Zaini and his team members, Hanis Jefri, Nazrin Narawi, Rahimi, Mustaqim, Fadhil and Hamiz Hamizan. We arrived at Bradford roughly about 9am, since the soccer centre opens at 11am, we decided to take a walk around the city to see how Bradford looks like.

BruSheff started playing around 12pm against a team wearing blue shirts. Our first match was a draw. We lost the 2nd match against Malaysian team by 2-0. Since we won the 3rd match against Newcastle by 1-0, our team marched into semi-final against Birmingham. We had a draw 2-2 in the semi-final, so the game was decided by penalty and we lost by 3-2. Our final match was against another Malaysian team. This match was for 3rd place of the tournament. Since our players were exhausted, we lost the final match by 2-1. The tournament was won by Malaysian team, followed by Birmingham and another Malaysian team.
