		<description><![CDATA[THERE is no other event in Buffalo City that captures the imagination and inspires debate like the Discovery Surfers Challenge.

It was a slaughter. I was impressed and as you know, I did not have good things to say about ManU in the last few weeks. Fergie&#8217;s selection was spot on and only the proverbial &#8221; fly on the wall&#8221; could possibly know what his comments was in the dressing room before kickoff.  Arsenal&#8217;s infamous passing [...]]]></description>

It comes as a complete shock that Gabon stands on the threshold of qualification for the knockout stages. And [...]]]></description>

After a stuttering start with the gunshots on the Togo bus and subsequent withdrawal of Togo (not the decision of the players I must add).
