South Florida Football Match and BBQ
A friendly football (better known as soccer here in US) match between South Florida team Chautari and Tampa team Tampalese was held on Saturday February 3rd, 2007 in Boca Raton, FL. The Tampalese team traveled all the way from Tampa to South Florida for the match. While the local crowd cheered for the Chautari team, the Tampalese team had their immediate families and friends who had traveled all the way from Tampa for this event.
The host team Chautari won the tournament 8 to 2 goals. The trophy for the event was sponsored by Abi Kattel Memorial Foundation headed by Dr. Bijaya Kattel and Dr. Archana Kattel in memory of their late son Abi Kattel.
After the game, the host team organized barbeque picnic in a near by park. By 9:00 PM the barbeque fire was put off and the Tampalese team started heading home after a wonderful and memorial match and delicious food.
