AFM F.C

So my new work schedule has meant that ive been finishing at 5pm every day, and well every Monday and Wednesday the AFM (Africa Mercy) Football team train. So ive been going the past couple of weeks, and well it seems like i started going at the right time because last Saturday the team had a match against a local team, and well i was asked to play!

So here are some photos of the day ...

This be the AFM Football team ... ok yes for those of you that look closely, we for some unknown reason play in a Chelsea replica kit :(


A little Pre game huddle ...


Some last min instructions from the coach ...



Pre game handshake ...



Ok so this picture might not look that special, but that is me and a young lady named Katie Radchuck ... Ok so that might not mean much to you ... check this out ...

The crowd began to build ...

Half time score AFM F.C 2 - Hevie 1 .... this is a picture of the half time team talk ... and to be honest i didn't catch a word! it was all in languages that i sure didn't understand :)
A few of the locals ...
So the person that was taking the photos switched cameras here :( so i have no more pics of the 2nd half or end yet, but hopefully i will be able to get my hands on them soon!
So for those of you that wanna know ... i managed to play the whole 90 mins in African heat and the final score was .... AFM F.C 4 - Hevie 3 ... was a very enjoyable game and was very nice to get myself on the score sheet :D
