Winning and losing have always been two sides of the same coin but above all, it is the participation in an event that makes the real difference. Dalapchand SS does not have its own school ground and despite the fact that the students of this school try their best practicing football at a helipad nearby. You did hear it right at a helipad that is used for landing helicopters most frequently during the Lampokhari festival. The Dalapchand boys love playing football and we can see them making themselves busy in the early hours of the morning and at the late noon after school. Interestingly the chief coach of our team is a driver by profession who also is President of a Sports Club by interest.
The ongoing Coca-Cola Cup played at Paljor Stadium, Gangtok was the first of its experience for our boys to play the big game and I am sure they came all the way to Gangtok just to enjoy the game. The boys were happy to have set foot on Paljor Stadium, the Mecca for all football lovers of our Hills. Our boys lost the match with four goals to one but have earned themselves a lifetime experience. An experience they would share with their close ones for a long long time.
Yuvraj Rai, our main striker went on to score the lone goal for our team and he must be the happiest after all how many of us are there who had played at Paljor Stadium and scored a goal. Truly, his goal was a magic to watch and more magical for the team that practices on a helipad made of….. alakatra (tar).
