1,000+ Years of Old Bordenian Veteran Footballers!

The Summer monsoon kindly stopped just before the kick-off and another in a series of ‘last’ reunion matches of the OBA Veteran footballers took place on the ‘lower’ field at the School on Sunday 07 September 2008. The sun actually put in an appearance at half-time. It was indeed a real pleasure to play again on the lower field – the scene of so many memorable OBA matches in the 1970′ and 1980′s. Fortunately, the width of the pitch has been reduced to accommodate the new school buildings but the slope remains a formidable challenge especially to older limbs and lungs.
