U23 chat

The Cambodian Under-23s are now well into their training camp in Saigon, across the border in Vietnam, and played a practice match against Thu Duc Central Sports University yesterday, losing 1-nil. The players who weren't involved in the previous friendly against Ho Chi Minh City were given a run out, though the less said about the game the better. Their next match against a V-League club side will be on Sunday 18th against Dong Hai Bien Hoa. The U23s will return home in time for the 4-team BIDC Cup which will be played in Phnom Penh in early November though their real aim is to gain medals at the SEA Games football championships in Laos at the beginning of December. A tall order but that's the target.
