Last month saw the city of Saigon bracing itself for yet another Saigon Saints social event, this being the annual end-of-season awards night held at Jaspas Restaurant on Dong Khoi. In a somewhat low-key event compared to previous gatherings there were a few suprise nominations, in particular those in the Captains awards. For his services to international relations, Roy the Boy walked away (rather sheepishly) with the Black Beauty (dark horse) award. This years players player award went to Saints El Capitano Scott Lambert for his consistent performances all season and bagging a Lampard-esque tally of goals from midfield. Although not present to receive his award (having fallen asleep at his computer, frenetic downloading can only be assumed), Warren was voted player of the season by the manager, overcoming an injured arse to put in some outstanding performances in defence and midfield. So by the end of the night all involved could breathe a sigh of relief with all noses, taxi doors and the majority of reputations remaining intact. Here's a full list of winners and riders
Club awards
Players player of the year - Scott 'sneaky' Lambert
Managers player of the year - Warren 'tally-ho' Haines
Captains awards
Black Beauty award - Playboy Roy
OJ Simpson sticky situation award - Phil Brazil
Abe Simpson award from rambling - Joe
George bush award for getting it wrong - Dammy
Hannibal Lector award for torture and insanity - Raffa and Ganners
Seth Blatter 'new rules' award - Diego.
Photographer of the year - Benny boy

The Saigon Saints recently took part in the Bayon Challenge International Football Tournament held in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Pehn. The Saints fielded a close to full strength squad in what can only be described as less than ideal conditions, however despite this they produced some of their best football played all season. In keeping with the rest of their campaign the Saints were short of luck on the pitch, despite star performances by Japanese playmaker Naoki the team found themselves on the end of some disappointing results eventually going out the French team of Bangkok. The tournament brought an end to a disapointing season, in which at the start had held so much promise. The Saints now take a break prior to the start of the new season in August where they again begin an assualt on the league championship, in the hope of some long-awaited silverwear.

In the heat of the stifling Bangkok sun the Vietnam Reunited team (comprising mainly of past/present Saigon Saints & ex Hanoi Capitals players) bowed out of the Bangkok German All-stars tournament after a bravely fought 3-1 defeat to the host team. The much-depleted Reunited finished 3rd in the group of five, notching up 2 wins and 2 defeats leaving them to fight for the plate rather than the cup on this occasion. Thanks to all involved for the organising and taking part.
Team (from): Dave 'the cat' Askin, Garry 'skitz' Morris, Ben 'benito' Hardisty, Jono 'jono', Matty 'B#1' Masson, Chris 'steve' Currie, Pete 'diggers' Digweed, Scott 'sneaky' Lambert, Winfred 'winnie', Klaus 'klinsman', Rob 'lumpit' Russell, Nic 'the big fella' Walker.

Oylmpique Fantastic.
Our congratulations go to the new champions. A strong side with impressive individuals, great spirit and effective tactics. The Frenchies played a excellent campaign and the deal was sealed with a outstanding free-kick from their captain Fred. They capture the championship with 1 game to spare. Hats off.
-------------------------------------------------
Player Profiles
Lots of new additions to the squad but not so many player profiles being submitted these days. The committee have already briefed The Currie Monster to write them.
However, should Wazza, Naoki, Greg, Steve, jie, Iaian, Phil Brazil, Jono or Darby Dave wish to write for themselves and submit them by the end of the week, they might save themsleves from being the subject of Turkey's speculation.

Back in June, Saints took on The Saigon Geckos Rugby team in what can only be described as a transparent excuse for an afternoon ale Session. The final score is still vague but is estimated as approximately Saints: 3 eggs, 8 shillings and sixpence Vs. The Geckos: 3 eggs and 9 Giraffes. Some pictures>>

Ruby Murrys in Saigon. June 18th 2007
Hong Kong league and cup champions The Ruby's were guests of the Saints in HCMC last weekend. They played two games in great spirit. After very nearly drinking the city dry on Friday night they took on the Saints in the sweltering Saturday afternoon heat. On Sunday challenged a SIFL representative squad featuring players from Raiders, Japan, Olympique, and from the Saints: Christo, Sneaky, Gary, Eli, with Raffa directing the whole show. It finished a very diplomatic 1-1. It was a pleasure to entertain true gentlemen for the weekend. Mao, Raffa, and Matty must be lauded for organizing.

Vietnam Reunited 2007, GAS tournament, Bangkok. April 9th.
Past and Present stars of Saigon Saints and Hanoi Capitals joined forces as Vietnam Reunited at the 25th annual competition in Thailand. The quality at the disposal of management team, our own Chris and the Capital's Mike, was quickly evident; stubborn defending, slick passing and devastating finishing. Reunited disposed of some well known opposition on the way to the semi finals where they were undone, against the run of play, by eventual winners, the hosts German All Stars. It was another memorable trip. Great fun off and on the pitch. Well done Chairman Maorridge for putting it together.

Where Legends meet. March 6th 2007
Sir Bobby Charlton's visit to Ho Chi Minh, resulted in an oportunity for Sir Bobby to mix with 3 legends of the Ho Chi Minh football scene, Chopper Hopkins, The Curse Lovell and Raffa Honour. Bobby's speach included many anecdotes from his illustrious career from his early days at Manchester Utd and the glory days with England in 1966. When the time for questions came Sir Bobby looked out into the audience for a suitable candidate "What about the lad with the same haircut as me", up steps The Curse Lovell to ask Sir Bobby how the Man Utd team of 68 compared with the mighty Liverpool teams of 77, 78, 81 and 84, ever the diplomat Sir Bobby refused to compare the sides, just letting everyone know how difficult it was and is to win The European Cup / Champions League. All in all a very entertaining night and great to see one of the English games all time greats in town.
