Girls Football...

This weekend we had a girls football match against 'Cultural Dance Troop' - the village that lives across the road from us at the Mercy Ships clinic in Aberdeen. Our neighbours are somewhat fit from the culutral dancing they are renown for. We however had never played together, and many of our team had never kicked a ball before!!

So it was not light competition...

The guys had had a match the week before...now it was our turn.

So we did our warm up, trying to look as if we knew what we were up to...

And scare off the other side...

And we're off....Much to the delight of the crowd that had gathered...

We played on a rough, uneven, dirt pitch, with a slight slope to the side. No lines but a line of people and a wall the other side! If it went out of the doorway in the wall, straight into the road it was definately out...however before long there was no way it was getting through the door as at least 15 outsiders heads were peering through to watch this crazy game!!

Oh and our nets - old fishing nets on sticks...

Our 'man of the match' Jeneba - was an awesome defender, scary!

All in all it wa a fun event....despite loosing 3-2.

Still scoring 2 (one was mine - Kelly my old Footie coach would be proud!!) was not bad for a never played before team!
