The first
ever Raheja Women’s Premier League
It
generated a lot of enthusiasm and intrigue
Ladies came
forward to eagerly participate
A whole lot
of them, just one short of twenty-eight.
To each
nine and a total of teams three
But how to
make the division fair and free?
Without an auction
a Premier League is incomplete
So,
auction, fun, food was setup for an evening meet.
The
organizers, children, women and their spouse
All
gathered on 21st March, six thirty in the club house
Sheetal
started the proceedings in his jocund way
Thus
started the RWPL, along with tea, biscuits on a tray.
First the
three captains were announced
Shalini,
Shalvi and Jyoti they were pronounced
After
introductions and with a lot of cheering and fanfare
Accompanied
by their advisors, the ladies took their chair.
Thus,
started the fiercely fought closely bided auction
In the end
there were three teams with a fair division
Food and
excitement concluded Saturday’s session
Next Sunday, the
teams dressed in their jerseys and aggression.
The atmosphere
was electric with a lot of cheering
Selfies’,
photos, nerves and children screaming
The three
captains came together for the draw and toss
The first
match, path of Gully Girls and Valour was to cross.
With the
National Anthem the day officially began
The umpires
took their positions, each team had a plan
Valour
bowled well and hence won the first game
Happy and
ecstatic that will be their claim to fame.
The second
match saw Josh face off an exultant Valour
After the
Josh’s batting, Valour didn’t have a good pallor
Josh’s
bats-women’s josh that day was truly high
The Gully
Girls too lost, inspite of their best try.
Josh and
Valour were in the finals, last match of the day
History
repeated itself, Valour did the ultimate price pay
The first
ever RWPL title was now in Josh’s kitty
They played
a game that was fast furious and gritty.
A beautiful
energetic vibrant day had come to an end
But please
oh please let this set a future trend
No injuries
on the ground, no controversy on the field
To women,
elders, children this tournament appealed.
Families
friends young and old all came together
On the
organizers cap this is a jewel colored feather
Fun was
had, food was partaken, memories were made
To tell you
the truth, for the next edition we cannot wait.
