| Sarawakian wins TV for correctly guessing MU-Liverpool match outcome Posted: 18 Jan 2013 05:58 AM PST SARAWAKIAN Stanley Davis Lawrence Bill had two reasons to celebrate during the match between Barclays Premier League table leaders Manchester United and Liverpool last Sunday. The first reason was that the team he supports, Manchester United, beat Liverpool 2-1 in stunning fashion. The second was that he got the score prediction right. He walked away with a 42-inch LCD television after winning the Predict and Win contest at the Tiger FC Away Games live viewing match held at Souled Out in Desa Sri Hartamas. The 30-year-old Stanley said this was the first time he had ever won such a contest. "With this new television, the next EPL live match will definitely be at my house in Kota Damansara with at least 10 of my friends. "I love watching live matches outdoors with my friends because it is exciting especially with the crowd cheering together," he added. Besides Stanley, 10 others were given Puma bags for predicting the right score. Manchester United and Liverpool football fans who were there had to buy a jug of Tiger Beer in order to participate and those who got the right prediction stood the chance to win prizes. About 700 football fans turned up to watch the match at Souled Out, but Tiger also held six other similar events nationwide. In the Klang Valley, three other events were held at 42 East, Studio Lounge and Chillout. Ozo Bistro in Kluang, Healy Mac's in Ipoh and Restaurant Sin Hong Kheng in Alor Setar were the other venues outside Kuala Lumpur. Tiger Beer senior brand manager Lim Ju-Lee said Tiger FC had always given fans the best football viewing experience with its parties. "With so many amazing matches of this magnitude happening throughout the season, we've made sure that fans across the nation can enjoy their football in the best possible way with seven exhilarating Tiger FC Away Game viewing parties across the country for the Manchester-Liverpool match and a total of more than 200 viewing parties this season," said Ju-Lee. |
