Start the day with the usual cereal mix of Cornflakes, Muesli and rice crispies (mixing cereals, another trick I have learnt from the Smith family). It is the most important meal of the day so it requires an ultimate breakfast!
Today was the last day of our week in Dunoon running football outreach tournaments for the local kids. There was a lot to play for so excitement levels were high!
Also, today followed the trend of the week as the number of kids increased again, today to over 150 young people! Crazy! What made it more interesting is that most of them spoke little to no English. Not a problem, we'll work something out.
So once again we split little kids (juniors) from bigger kids (seniors) and then split the juniors into two leagues. So three leagues going on and thankfully today our local leader Richard (thats his english name, he has an Afrikaans name but wouldn't want to attempt to spell it) was back to help us out.
Competition was fierce but with introduced sportsmanship points the attitude of players was good.
It was close. In the seniors league there was only 5 points between 1st and last. But after a well fought final which came down to penalties South Africa were victorious. And out of the junior leagues Italy won their final on pens also.
As it was the last day lots of prizes were given out! We had prizes from Liverpool and lots of sweets!
Our two winning teams...
Our three captains of the week...
(Captains had a huge responsibility to lead, organise and instruct their teams, helping us out a lot!!)
Our player of the week...
(This little girl was such a good footballer, she was a battler against the bigger tougher boys and had the best respect and attitude, she was incredible and well deserved the prize!)
Vice Captain of the week...
God Bless.
Wow - what an incredible day and finish !!! It looked and sounded amazing!! And a good result for the senior league. Good one Cal. Xx
