  3. Congratulation Hussaini team .My reflection on the event of this cricket tournament are (1) The youth of Gojal followed some positive code of conduct, (2) Must have appreciated team spirit,
    (3) Learnt short comings of their respective team and reflect how to take corrective course of action for future. I assume host of teams from all over Gojal must appreciate the hospitality of people of Chipursan in genral and people of Sheresabz and Rashit in particular. Over and above the satalite facilitation of Mr Hikayat who generously made live coverage globaly.

  4. Muborak to the team of Shah Talib/ Hussani and all those who were involved in organizing the event. Thanks to the people ( elders, women, youth , children and member of the institutions) of Chipursan and host villages Sheresbaz and Rashit. I would suggest that someone or group of young people should undertake an evaluation of this event. The study could focus on vital components including highlighting the objectives, process/s followed, logistics, risks attached, learning and recommendations for future.

  5. Congratulations to Shah Talib Cricket team for wining All Gojal Cricket Tournament 2013 and lots of Mubarakbods to the organizers for concluding the event successfully. All players must show respect to each other individually & to other teams. Keep the sprit of the game high and follow the rules & regulations. In each & every games one team has to loose.
