Singkok Primary School...could we do it in Canberra?

Simon Kravis "The best game I've seen."

Singkok Captain Kim Jae Heon in action.

Simon Kravis, a signed-up Canberra A-League Foundation member, was so impressed by the Korean side Singkok at the recent Kanga Cup he sent through this reflection.

A junior football competition isn't the place you'd expect to find your most enjoyable game but this year the Kanga Cup Under 12 Boys turned up the most amazing football experience with the Singok Primary School team from Korea.

They redefined the levels of individual and team skills that might be expected from boys of this age in a series of stunning performances. Even people from teams they'd beaten earlier by double figure margins came to watch them play.

They were like a miniature professional team, floating exquisite crosses from tight marking, wrong-footing defenders and all with a huge level of enjoyment. Their coach hardly said a word during the games - they were so well trained that he didn't need to.

A former junior coach watching them commented that they were of at least Under 14 standard. Hats off to South Melbourne who only lost to them 2-0 in the semi-finals, in what their coach said was their hardest game in Australia. Look out for them next year!

Cheers

And it begs the question will Canberra, with it's thousands of young kids playing, it's new female and hopefully male pathway, set up it's own football Primary School.

Can I be the Principal:)

We were unable to get the name of the other player in the photo, any help appreciated. Thanks Eamonn
