I really like watching soccer, or football as it's called here. These are a few shots of last weekend's district semifinal game in which Christ School was actually defeated by Semliki but advanced to the finals (which they won on Saturday) because Semliki was playing with a mercenary (a player who was in this case too old to be playing) which disqualified them. The final game this weekend against Good Hope CSB won with a successful penalty kick 1-0. Note the difference in attire of the CSB keeper (black jersey/shorts/socks with flames on the jersey sleeves) compared to the Semliki keeper (red jersey and barefoot)! One of the pictures towards the bottom shows all of the people watching from over the fence. The football games really are the thing to do (the only thing to do really) here on a saturday in Nyahuka, and it costs 200 USh (about $0.12) to get in so if you don't want to/can't pay you pack in behind the fence and try to follow the game. Also not sure if you can tell from the action shot towards the bottom that there's a bunch of men standing in the workshop behind the field watching the game...they look like pretty good "seats" and shaded too :) Then there's the throw in shot, and what struck me about that picture is the pressure of a throw in with that many people packed in around the sideline...sheesh...So, I'm not a good photographer, and I'm an even worse sports photographer but I figured you'd like to see the pictures anyways :) Oh and the picture of the two kids is one I called "young entrepeneur." The kid on the left is selling hard boiled eggs with a little garnish of salt, you can see his try sitting in the grass in front of him while he reaps his profit from the other boy.
