Well you made it happen despite COVID, sudden isolations, projected thunder and lightning and an unexpected Colombian food shortage. Congratulations to Duffers Allstars for totally owning the tournament and playing some outstanding football. And well done to the Easton Cowgirls for picking up the Plato Lucrecia Lindo (next year we will find a plate honest). It was brilliant that we had teams travelling from Cardiff and Birmingham and also having two new teams taking part was lovely. A big thanks to all the teams who took part. Ambassador Guisell and her colleague Brenda, the Nicaraguan footballer/chef, enjoyed meeting the teams. They presented Roz, Elspeth and Nick with the Embassy’s “Special Friend of Nicaragua and Solidarity Hero” awards for their many years of voluntary work supporting education and Fairtrade projects with Nicaragua. There are some photos up on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/bristolnicaragua/<https://eur03.safelinks.prote… and please share the attached with your team-mates so they can print off the certificate and stick it on their fridges. And send us your favourite image from the day and we will upload it. Thanks again for getting your team-mates to the tournament. We know it is not easy. Stay safe, be kind to each other and we will see you for Copa Lucrecia Lindo 2022 (May 22nd). Alix PS. You may have noticed that the US and their media chums are throwing the kitchen sink at Nicaragua in the build up to elections in November. One of our supporters John Perry who lives in Nicaragua has written a good piece about the current situation https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://popularresistance.org/why-us-policy-in-… and as we didn’t manage to sing before the final, here is the Nicaraguan single which went viral there called Soberanía (Sovereignty) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGYo_mBS-Dg<https://eur03.safelinks.prot… and is fast becoming the FLSN anthem for the elections. ________________________________ Council services: http://www.bristol.gov.uk/service Latest council news: http://www.bristol.gov.uk/ournews Consultations: http://www.bristol.gov.uk/consult Privacy Notice: https://www.bristol.gov.uk/about-our-website/privacy
