U19 Girl's Football

On Saturday January 30th Lechwe School hosted an under 19 football tournament. The Participants in this event were; Trident, Mpelembe, Lechwe and Amano girls.

Amano girl’s first game was against Lechwe girls. Even though we were tired from playing netball matches before this game, we kept pushing through out the game but unfortunately we lost the game 1-0. Our next game was against Trident, our defence was strong, the girls kept on pushing and Diana managed to score a goal. Sadly we lost that game 2-1. Our last and final game was played against Mpelembe. We were tired and it was extremely hot, despite that we kept on pushing through out the game, but sadly we ended up losing that game with a shocking 2-0.

Over all, we played well, we tried to keep up with every thing and our defences were good, the girls pushed themselves to the furthest. I would like to thank Mr Grove for coaching us and the team for their hard work and positive attitudes.

A close call for Amano

Captain Bisa on the ball against Lechwe

On Saturday February 6th Mpelembe School hosted an Under 19 Zone 1 football tournament. The schools participating in this event were Lechwe, Mpelembe, and Kalulushi Trust. I had the privilege of being Amano girl’s team captain

Our first game was against Kalulushi Trust, this team was easier to play compared to the previous games. We saw their weak points and we used that to our advantage. We played with so much determination and emerged as winners in a 5-0 game. Of the five goals we scored four were struck in by Diana and the other one by Josiah.

Our next game was against Mpelembe. They were a tougher and more intimidating team, which resulted in a 2-0 win game to Mpelembe. 

Our last and final game was against Lechwe School. We started out well and scored two goals in the first half. One goal was struck in by Natalya and the other one headed in by me. However, they made a come-back, rising up to 2 goals. This game would have ended in a draw if an unfortunate event of Kathleen accidently scoring for the opposite team would not have happened.

Overall, I was very impressed with the improvement of the team and their good spirits. I would like to thank Mr. Grove for supporting us the whole way despite our shortcomings.
