Hiangmun Memorial Cup

During 18 December 1968 to January 1972, the village was grouped to Mimbung village. Since then, the villagers organised a football tournament in memory of re-construction of the Hiangmun village between Christmas and New year. After the ended of the grouping in 1972, the camped villagers went back to their village and constructed a new Hiangmun within the old village. The younger and the older villagers yearned for their olden days. The poem "Mimbang Pianna Hiangtui Vangkhua" was recited by some young villagers. This poem is the theme song of the memorial cup:
