Big game tomorrow

assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, and hi everyone...

manchester medics will take on their counterparts from nottingham tomorrow afternoon at heywood road (kickoff 1430). this is our biggest game of the season as our survival in the National Association of Medical Students (NAMS) rugby tournament depended on it. we lost our 1st game to leeds but we thrashed liverpool by 6 tries to 1 two weeks ago. after nottingham, we'll meet sheffield to complete the fixtures for the northern region. only the top two teams will qualify to represent their respective regions in the national finals.

the scary thing about nottingham medics is that they had just beaten their own uni's team recently, and they also thrashed a local side by a 70-points margin!!! in short, they were one of the strongest team in this tournament and for sure will be the team to beat.

meanwhile, i was invited to play football for one of the three manchester teams in the coming nottingham games. it will be held on november the 27th, thus clashes with the medics final game against sheffield. i'm still undecided at the moment. need to do solat istikharah asap.

we're in the final third of ramadhan now, the period where Allah swore that He will free His loyal and obedient slaves from the torture of hellfire. hopefully everyone of us (including myself) can be more consistent with our prayers, quran recitations, giving alms, and other good deeds. amiin.

assalamualaikum warahmatullah.
