We are organizing our annual one day All Goa Seven – A – Side football tournament for the
Parish Youth. We take this opportunity to invite the Youth Group of your Parish to participate in
the tournament. It will be held on Sunday, 29 November 2009 at Nerul Sports Club ground from

talent on a common playground.
