Mumbai, Maharsathra, July 16, 2010 / Premier India Football Academy (PIFA) organized the Champions tour to England – a football tour for children 9-16 years.

The tour has been designed by PIFA to help children to learn to play football as well as appreciate and understand the history of English football and what makes these clubs them so special. Thirty three children were taken to Old Trafford Stadium (Manchester United) & Anfield Stadium (Liverpool FC). The children got an extensive guided tour of the Stadium and their Museum.

The children also got to see an English Premier League match from the Bullens Road stand at Goodison Park. Everton’s final home game against Portsmouth. The match was won 1-0 by Everton FC.

Football training was conducted through the week by the UEFA licensed coaches from Inspire Academy. The children played 2 friendly matches against Vauxhall FC U16 boys & Altrincham FC U11 boys, both matches ended in a tie.

The children were treated to a training session at the Liverpool FC Youth Academy in Kerby. Young Steven Gerrard & Michael Owen have graduated through the Youth system.

Each child underwent a fitness and skills test. The skills winner was Vikhyat Sinh from Jameshedpur with a score of 630 points. The group was accompanied by two adults from India ensuring that the children totally focus on football and enjoy themselves.

.

The proceeds of these camps are utilised to develop teams from the PIFA Colaba community football project undertaken by NGO – PIFA Foundation for benefit of sports.

Soon after the Baton left the KD Singh “Babu” Stadium here, it was taken to the Sahara Shahar at Gomtinagar.

Lucknow District Magistrate Anil Sagar said it was a replica of the Queen’s Baton that made its way to Sahara Shahar, where it was received by Sahara India Managing Worker, Subrata Roy Sahara. He told reporters at a crowded press conference here that he would write to the Centre in this regard.

High drama started when four vehicles of the Rae Bareli-bound convoy of the Queen’s Baton Relay (QBR) made a sudden detour from the Bandariya Bagh crossing towards Gomtinagar. The vehicles were apprehended by the police, following a chase, near the Indira Barrage. But one of the other vehicles carried the Baton to Sahara Shahar.

The Queen’s Baton Relay team, led by Lt. General (retired) Raju Kadyan, later expressed regret for the incident. The District Magistrate later summoned Lt. Gen. Kadyan, convenor Alka Lamba and project officer Shruti Menon, too expressed regret. Mr. Sagar told journalists that they clarified in writing that the baton was only a replica of the original one.

Meanwhile, Sahara India has clarified that the Baton arrived in Sahara Shahar on the instructions of the organising committee of the Commonwealth Games in India.

Sahara India said in a press release that the group’s Managing Worker Subrata Roy Sahara was one of the biggest patrons of sports in the country and was also the chairman of the Protocol Sub-Committee of the Commonwealth Games. The release said the QBR team members met Mr. Roy on Friday and the baton arrived in Sahara Shahar on Saturday, and was taken back keeping in mind its associated protocol.

The 30-year-old seamer suffered the injury during the fifth one-day international against England at Lord’s last week, and immediately returned to Australia. That meant he missed the upcoming Test series with Pakistan and is also doubtful for the two Test and three ODI series against India, which begins on October 2.

“Ryan Harris underwent arthroscopic surgery in Melbourne on Thursday to correct cartilage damage to his right knee,” Cricket Australia doctor Trefor James said.

“His progress will be monitored in the coming weeks to determine his availability for selection for the VB Tour of India tour in October.”

Harris’ injury continues a run of ills for Australia’s paceman after Peter Siddle and Brett Lee have both been sidelined for long periods, while Ben Hilfenhaus made his return after seven month out with a knee problem in the recently-completed tour match against Derbyshire.
