On Friday the
2nd of March the U19 boys' team went to Mpelembe School to play in
the regional football tournament. There were 9 teams taking part in the
tournament and they were divided into 2 pools. Pool A which had Mpelembe, Ndola
Trust, Simba and Amano, and pool B which had Chengelo, Trident, Kalulushi,
Lechwe and Nsansa.
Our first game of the
day was against Ndola Trust. In this game both teams had many chances but
neither team was able to convert those chances into goals, so despite it being
quite an open game it finished 0-0.
Our second game was
against Simba. In this game we started off really lazily, we gave away the ball
too cheaply and we weren’t really creating anything going forward. We conceded
an early goal and that gave us a real kick up the backside and a quick reply
from Chanda meant that we went in at half time with the scores at 1-1. After
some strong words from Mr Kirk at half time we came back and bossed the second
half scoring two more without any reply. The goals were scored by Musonda and
Chanda. So we won that game 3-1.
Our last game was
against Mpelembe. This was a difficult game, we lacked confidence and we weren’t
really fighting in the first half. They bossed that half and we were lucky to
only concede two goals. In the second half we fought much harder but in the end
they out played us and beat us 4-0.
I want to thank the
team for putting in the effort when it counted, and Mr Kirk and Mr Grove for
coaching us and driving us. I also want to thank God that we had a good time and
that there were very few injuries.
