Tonight, under the supervision of your local friendly CPA - and the eyes of ESPN’s cameras, the draw for the 2008 9th Annual Asian AFL Championships occurred.
In Group A:
- Bali
- China
- Singapore
- Malaysia
- Jakarta
In Group B:
- Hong Kong
- UAE
- Thailand
- Vietnam
- Lao
We have never played the UAE but we have played the reigning Asian Champs, Hong Kong, who were in fine form. As for Thailand and Lao, the Champs must be a warm up for the Indochine Cup which is scheduled to be played in Phnom Penh in November!
What do you think of the Draw? Good, bad or ugly? Post a comment.
