Football clinic for young aspiring players and referee workshop for local referees were also conducted on September 11, 2008. Similarly, football kits were handed over to various schools by nepalaya. Itahari was an exciting experience- with just about 30 hours for the kick off time - we realised the fixed venue would not dry off and had to get into action to 'create' a football field of a campus ground. Luckily there were football posts but the grass was too tall and the ground soggy as well.
With many many people with sickels, the ground became playable right on time.Though we only had limited time to inform people - the show was full. NRT will travel to Kawasoti to play its fourth friendly match against Young Star Club on September 15, 2008
