Ex Swannie, Daniel Hogarth, who was there for the then Hanoi Swans first ever overseas tour (Malaysia) in 2004 – and who comes along to the Swannies Annual Golf Days in Melbourne – will come to Vietnam in September – with his footy team. Below is his email.

The footy club I play for, Tarrawingee (we play in Ovens and King Footy League, Victoria), is having a footy trip to Vietnam. We will be arriving on 18th of Sept and will spend a few days in Saigon.

Maybe that Sunday would work well – the week before the AFL Grand Final?

I was going to see if both the Swans and Tarra could hook up for a game, beers and a bit of promotion of the Swans etc.

Let me know if you like the initial idea and we can make it happen.

Will be great just to catch up with you and a few of the other boys anyway.

As the Swannies would say, Honk if ya love the footy!

Daniel

(Ed’s note: Bring it onnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Another of Tarra’s key people is Boca and Boca is well connected with another awesome Swannie, Will Martin. I’ll give ya the tip: the Swannies are honkin’.)

The Vietnam Swans are now confirming the availability of RMIT University’s oval.
