Outgoing Saigon President, Derrin Limbrick, and Swannies' Skipper, Luke "Dukes" Creamer, hold the 2011 Indochina Cup aloft.
Photos of this weekend’s 2011 Indochina Cup, won by the Vietnam Swans for the second year in a row, have now been uploaded to the Swannies’ web album.
Format of Indochina Cup changed on the day
Originally, it was planned for each team (Vietnam, Thailand, Lao and Cambodia) to play each of the three other teams once.
In the last round, Vietnam was to play Thailand and Lao was to play Cambodia.
However, given Vietnam and Thailand were undefeated going into the last round – and Lao and Cambodia were still to win a game – the third round had become a dead rubber. Regardless of the outcome, Vietnam would be playing Thailand in the Grand Final and Cambodia would be playing Lao.
So, rather than continuing to go with this format, it was decided to skip the third round and extend the Grand Final from two halves to four quarters.
