VAS Hanoi was back with a vengeance making a clean sweep of the three competitions in the Hanoi Youth Gaelic Cup played at the VAS Sportsground on 8
th December. The standard of Vietnamese Youth Gaelic Football continues to increase with every tournament and the spectators were treated to some extremely entertaining games played with panache and verve mixed with honest endeavour and dogged determination.
Game 1 Junior Boys: VAS 4.8 (20pts); v Hanoi Academy 1.1 (4pts);
Final Junior Boys: VAS 3.7 (16pts); v HIS 1.7 (10pts);
VAS Juniors beat their old rivals HIS Juniors in the final after defeating Hanoi Academy in the first game. The final went right down to the wire and HIS could have equalized in the last minute but VAS broke down field to seal victory with a smashing goal.
Final Senior Boys: VAS 4.1 (13 pts); v HIS 2.6 (12pts);
VAS Seniors also beat HIS in their final and this game too was decided in the last minute. VAS had a difficult start but showed a lot of character to fight their way back into the game with some incredible scores narrowly winning by one point. This game was played at a frenetic pace with some wonderful aerial skills on display.
Final Girls: VAS 0.10 (10pts); v HIS 0.2 (2pts);
The most pleasing aspect of the tournament was the victory of VAS Girls over HIS Girls in the girls final. A stupendous second half of point-taking from VAS was the difference between the two sides after a close run first half. This was the first competition won by VAS Girls and is a credit to their commitment to training and their attitude to the game.
Winners: Senior Boys: VAS Hanoi
Girls : VAS Hanoi
