Sost wins Subedar Noor Ghulam Memorial Cricket Tournament in Karachi
By Noor
Karachi, September 21: Sost defeated Gojal United, a team comprising of players from different villages of Gojal, in an entertaining match, to win the Subedar Noor Ghulam Memorial Cricket Tournament, organized by Ghulkin Students Association, Karachi.
Many teams participated in the tournament but Ghulkin, Hussaini, Gojal United and Sost were able to make it to the semi finals. In the semis Sost defeated Hussaini while Gojal United easily won against Ghulkin, qualifying for the final.
Bating first in the final match, Sost were able to score a total of 105 runs, in the given ten overs. Gojal United struggled, despite of wonderful bating by Shehzad and Pervaiz and were restricted by Sost to 101 runs. Sost, thus, was able to win by by four runs, as the overs finished.
Federal Drug Inspector, Rehmat Ullah Baig, was the chief guest during the prize distribution ceremony, while Lt. Col Zahid Hussain presided. Medals and trophies were distributed among the teams. Trophies were also given to outstanding performers, including Nadeem Posh, for his all round best performance and Pervaz, for his wonderful bating performance. Nadeem Posh also bagged the man of the match trophy.
Speaking at the occasion the services of Late Noor Ghulam were highlighted by the speakers and the efforts of GSA for organizing the event were also lauded. Lt. Col Zahid asked the players to internalize the three values most cherished by the late renowned social worker. He said that fair play, social mobilization skills and positive thinking were three of the traits dominating the persona of the late Subedar. The chief Guest, Mr Rehmat, also shared similar sentiments and appreciated organizing of sporting events but asked the students to concentrate on their studies, as that was the primary objective behind migrating to Karachi.
The event provided a healthy social space for the players to mingle, compete and learn from each other. However, during the second week a serious scuffle, that left a non – player badly injured, disturbed the congenial environment of fair play, brotherhood and tolerance. It was pleasing, however, that representatives of the involved team regretted the mishap and officially apologized, in a letter to the organizers.
Save for the second week’s scuffle, rest of the tournament was able to bring the student community of Gojal together, offering them opportunities to compete fairly.

I really appreciate the efforts of GSA on the accomplishment of cricket tournament at Karachi. Uncle (late) Subedar Noor Ghulam was a role model for us. We cannot refute his services in social sector, where he proved himself an agent of change. In religious sector he was a loyal to his Imam and committed to the Jamat. It is a best effort by GSA to recognize his sacrifices in terms of time, knowledge and skills to the Jamat. Such personalities hardly develop in any society. We young generations are needed to internalize his three cherished values in our life.
Once again extend my heartfelt congratulation to GAS on presenting tribute to Uncle Noor Ghulam. (May Allah rest his soul in eternal peace (Ameen).

It is really good tradition of our youth to remember our heroes and acknowledge their services to the community through different events, off course, Uncle Noor Ghulam’s services was not limited to the community of Ghulkin but was for the whole Area.
Well-done boys for setting a true example, hope our young blood will think, serve and support for the collective benefit of the Area. As the Pamir times is serving, and will not divide us into villages and tribes.
With kind regards
