Today was game day! Most of the leaders from soccer camp played in a game vs. the older boys team (16-24 years old) from camp. We were suppose to play a team from the area of Kunyba, but as it is in Africa things do not always go as planned.
So, instead we played the older boys. It was a big day and us leaders actually came out with a 2-1 win!
I love coaching and get to do a lot of it here, but there is nothing like actually getting to play for yourself even if you are out of shape, not as good as you use to be, the sole girl on the field, and slow :-).
I really do miss playing in games. There is always a chance to play at practice or on Saturday. There is also, a drop in night for expatriates here in Kigali on Wednesday nights, but those times are nothing like actually getting the opportunity to play in a game.
Also, kind of fun... the jerseys we wore for the game were some of the jerseys donated by my Hereford High School girls teams that I coached. The team had replaced these jerseys with new ones and had them just sitting around in a bunch of boxes. Thank you to Ferg and Megan Kennedy, those jerseys made it all the way from Hereford to Kigali, Rwanda :-).
