Tourney 1st Day Update

The tournament began at 8 a.m. and they
actually started on time, which was pretty
good.

There were 3 and a half games before the
rain came down in ... seeing as we are in
Namibia, it wouldn't come down 'like cats
and dogs' but more like 'hyenas and cheetahs'.

The first game featured the Chetto A-team
against the Omega 3 A-team with the outcome
... a draw 2-2.

Next up was our village A-team the Heroes
going against Mashambo and the local team
put a bit of a hurting on the visiting team to the
tune of 4-1.

The third game also featured another of our
village teams called the Hunters. They lost
2-1 to the Chetto B-team. In the picture you
can see the goal that the Hunters scored
with about 10 minutes left.

The fourth and last half game before the rains
came was Divundu facing off with the
Omega 3 B-team. It was 5-0 in favor of the
Divundu team before the half and before the
deluge came.

On the netball side the two village teams were
triumphant and I think that they may actually
face off each other tomorrow but I'm not sure
due to the fact that we were running from the
rain before I had the chance to get the info.

But it has been good till now and the village
is really enjoying the event. It is fun to be here
and it is even more fun because people from
the other villages haven't seen me and are
kind of shocked and surprised that I can speak
a bit of their San-Khwedam language ... even
with a few click words thrown in.

So I am going to predict that the finals for the
football will feature our village's Heroes team
playing against the Divundu team. It should
be a great final as the Divundu is really im-
pressive.

I hope to be able to post the info tomorrow after
the finals but if not, then Monday.
