Dear friends,
Our meeting at Viana do Castelo came to an end. Now there is that feeling of a certain emptiness, wich it's fine and perfectly normal.
I bet you are all breathing very well after exposing your lungs to an intensive 4 days work!
Generaly speaking it is up to you players to do the math of what went good and what went less good (or even bad). This time the emergency services were always there with us and that was very reassuring. Fortunatly no one got seriously hurt and the two finals were once again strongly disputed. Glory to the winners and to all of you intrepid fathers and grand fathers. May you always be a good example to your children. Congratulations to everybody, good luck with your lifes and your families and may you all keep in shape and in good health.
Remember how hard it was when your childs were born? It was (it still is) a full time job! That's why i must thank Rita, our lovely and dear designer. She was always there for us while taking care of her recently new born child.
Obrigado, Rita!
My friends,
It was an honour to have you here at Viana do Castelo.
Good Luck and see you next year!
