Hi,
21 years since Hapoel Jerusalem was on the first league of football in Israel. But now we are back!
We made the all thing a family trip with Jannaeus and Mindal to Teddy stadium, just as Atzva and I went to the qualification game to second football game. And even Nathan and his daughter joined us.
The real qualification game was last week. The celebration were postponed from last week, due to Mount Meron disaster (there were of course some celebrations). We were anyway in Fatma wedding, something that I hope will happen more than once in 27 years.
We started as a new football club in the third league under the name Hapoel Katamon Jerusalem (well there was short time we tried to join existing club but that did not work and we started clean from the bottom). We even won the Toto cup. Now 21 years later – The club is again in 1st league! and under its original name – Hapoel Jerusalem (after the original club went to lowest league and had been closed).
It did took us some 8 years to go up from second league to first. I kept telling myself it is for the best – so we can build a better group to stay on first league. But as Atzva said – We going down next year, aren’t we? I hope not I said.
Take Care
