It was a wet field following the heavy rain . Thank God for a not-bad condition for soccer as weather was cool and ground was soft. By around 3.15 pm, about 13 players arrived. Without further waiting, it was time for devotion. The Bible text was taken from Joshua 1: 9 "Be strong and of good courage; do to be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. " A message to assure us that God is always in control and He will never leave us. After prayer, it was time to hit the field!
It was 6 youngsters against 7 mostly older players. Scoring allowed only in the inner box without goalkeeper. At the end of half time, the 7 players did better to win 9-6. Before resuming play for 2nd half, 4 of our young players had to leave us for another appointment. It would have been our 9 players left to play but fortunately, 10 sec 4 kids arrived and were invited to play against us in a friendly. This time scoring allowed anywhere with goalkeepers.
The kids mostly displayed fairly good individual skills, fast and lots of stamina but lack teamwork. Our 9 players who are familiar with one another did better to win them with a score of 4-2.
By 5.00pm, the field warden signalled us to stop play. Thank God for the wonderful time time of soccer fellowship!
