THE PHNOM PENH PARROTS (PPP) STORY
The Phnom Penh Parrots(PPP) is a new team entrant into the Asia Expat Pool Challenge and will be participating in the Manila Event in September 2014.
The development of PPP is largely due to the efforts of Jean – Francois Boulmier aka “Jeff” who first contacted us prior to AEPC Jakarta 2013 and said “can Phnom Penh join AEPC sometime in the future”. Jeff came to Jakarta to watch the AEPC Event and was impressed and with enthusiasm went back to Phnom Penh and started to raise a team.
The PPP team was then put together in just a couple of months with the core of the team coming from the Pickled Parrot Bar located in 104 Street which is located near the riverside in Phnom Penh. The team is truly a league of nations with players coming from France, UK, Germany, Philippines, Australia, USA and others. This story is very similar to Saigon Legends who finished third in the AEPC 2013.
If you are an expat living in Phnom Penh and would like to know more about PPP then you can go the city page on this website – PHNOM PENH PARROTS for the contact details.
