5-a-side Football

This is a great opportunity for the school staff to interact with the students outside of school hours in competitive sport. This was our second year and the pressure was on the staff to retain their title of last year, though each one feeling disproportionately older!
Primarily this is a boarding activity, but this year saw a number of our day students from Kitwe and Chingola attend too. They made a positive impact to the event. One staff team named "Don't Break!", and three student teams, "All Stars", "Chiefs" and "United Squad", all sought to win the trophy-less accomplishment of best 5 aside team 2018. With the hall cleared of all furniture, goals marked out and rules clarified, we were set to go.
Each team played the other teams twice in 12min games. Some good performances were put in by Mr Sven, Graham in goal, Chilanzi, Joseph and Taonga from the younger boys. Below are the results for those interested.
Don't Break finished with 12pts. Four wins and 2 losses made things very tight at the end.
All Stars had a hard day with 0 points.
Chiefs were looking strong and scored fluently finishing with 11pts. 3 wins, 2 draws and a loss. PD +6
United Squad were also strong and ended with 11pts. 3 wins, 2 draws and a loss. PD +3
Thankfully no staff broke and we retained the the illustrious title much to the astonishment of United Squad.

Thank you for a fun morning everyone.
