Tourney Day 2 Update

After the rains cancelled two games
yesterday it delayed the finish. Tomorrow
the final games will be played.
The manner of deciding the winner will
be through the point system.With that it
is pretty safe to say that the village Heroes
team, should win. They've won all their games
and have outscored their opponents by
about 21 to 3. So, it seems that they got it.

The Heroes girls netball team did win it all
and they were crazy with joy. Like I've men-
tioned in other blog articles, it's hard to
remember a better victory display than what
I've seen in Africa.

In the picture is nothing much other than a
moment in the game that saw our other village
team (the Hunters) lose to the 'Vultures' from
Mashambo village. The score was 3-1 and it
was a good game but with the loss, they where
mathematically eliminated from winning

In these tournaments there has been a pattern
of some of the teams getting into beefs and
arguments but so far, it's been great in the
fact that it's been really anger free. The only
real anger we saw so far was between an
off duty policeman from another town (who
was best said ... totally drunk) and his wife.
It was a real show but our local police were
there and after a bit of bezerko behavior,
got it under control.

So, tomorrow, the final results to come.
