The Buenos Aires hockey championship schedule had set the Marathon date for May 23rd from the beginning of 2004, with a strating time at 9 am to 12 pm.
Everybody was in time for the event , players, coaches, coordinators , parents and……the rain!!.
Nevertheless this….all players got their hockey sticks and started playing, sometimes under the rain and sometimes under a light drizzle.
Walking along the cheering parents , we have heard: “…could this event have been later in the morning, it’s so early!. Oh…come on Facu…you are doing great!!
Mothers were so enthusiastic, looking for shelter whenever their boys weren’t playing and just beside de field when they were running for the ball.
In spite of the weather all the coordinators were happy that this event was held anyway. Giving them the chance to make the young players share a good sporty spirit.
Mrs Roxana Kocourek de Gonzalez Bonorino, Miss Victoria Zunino, Mr. Pablo Mendoza and Mrs.Ana V de Romanelli members of the AAAH-DCC and Youth promoters want to congratulate all participants.
