Laguna Phuket to Host ESPN STAR Personalities

Members of the ESPN STAR Sports (ESS) football broadcasting team are scheduled to visit Laguna Phuket from 25-27 July in support of Laguna’s CSR initiative that’s aimed at improving conditions in schools in neighbouring Phang-nga province.

This event follows on the highly successful inaugural ESPN STAR Sports Charity Golf Tournament at Laguna Phuket held in March of 2007, when THB 500,000 was raised for Phuket’s Life Home Project in support of HIV-positive women and children.

The ESS team are enthusiastic to repeat the earlier success.

The proceeds from this year’s event will be used to improve the heath and safety standards of a school in economically disadvantaged Phang-nga province. This project comes under the auspices of the Laguna Phuket Social Committee, which manages the resort’s CSR activities.

The star-studded line-up of ESS team members visiting Laguna Phuket includes STAR Sports Nokia Football Crazy presenter Andy Penders and the football analyst PJ Roberts. ESPN Football Focus presenter John Dykes and Here We Go’s Andrew Leci of Here We Go will join a number of in-house football experts, such Paul Masefield, Jamie Reeves, Shebby Singh and Derek Currie. Also participating are STAR Sports presenters Paula Malai Ali, Drinie Aguilar, Ally Begg, Jamie Yeo, Christy Simson, Uday Joshi and Joy Navkin.
