Day 14: Lessons and Football

Blog: It was an early start, 5:45 to be precise. Followed by a swift breakfast to get into Gehandu early to do some chores, involving watering the vegetable patch, an experience for Gent. 

More lessons were taught today involving the clubbing of Archie to death by a Masai warrior (Charlie). 

An interesting visit to the home of a local student put things into perspective. The highlight of the day however was the two football matches. Firstly the game of mixed Radley and Gehandu teams ending in a tightly fought 2-2 with frequent offsides. Then to the main event, drawing a crowd bigger than bigside has ever seen. The uneven turf and unorthodox style of play proved difficult for Radley, falling behind 1-0 at half time. 

Radley played route one in the second half and Jack Elvin scored with a 20 yard bobbler to level matters. 

Under a hot sun, fatigue set in for both teams, but Gehandu made it 2-1 with a fine passing move. With 10 mins to go, tactical genius from the gaffer saw Radley draw level, with a tidy finish from O.M-H. Final score 2-2. 

Penalty shootout to follow on Thursday......Better rest those tired legs.
