Dave Kainey holds the Kainey Cup at the after-match function last Saturday night in Jakarta.The Vietnam Swans National President emails the Jakarta Bintangs hierarchy to thank the Club for hosting last weekend’s Kainey Cup in Jakarta.

Hi Tim, MJ and Michael

On behalf of the Vietnam Swans, I would like to thank the Jakarta Bintangs for hosting us on the weekend and for the hospitality extended. Please pass on our thanks to the rest of the Bintangs.

The Vietnam Swans had a great time and genuinely appreciated your efforts in ensuring that the weekend was so well organised. It was all good except for the fact that you retained the Kainey Cup.

Regardless of where Asian footy is in 5, 10 and 20 years from now, I think that people from our two clubs will look back at this weekend and say it was an important contribution to the growing story.

With the arrival of Air Asia on the HCMC – Jakarta route, hopefully we can really turn the Kainey Cup into something quite special.

DK, seriously awesome to see you again at the Kainey Cup which helps all the newcomers have a greater understanding and appreciation of what the Cup is all about.

Thanks again Bintangs and enjoy holding the Cup until next time we meet which, regrettably, will be when we take it back.

Regards, Phil
