Saturday 9th Feb: The pitch was water logged and there were mini lakes in some areas. Some of us mentally mapped out the areas to avoid while playing. Mutaks selected the early birds - Joan (otherwise known as boda boda - in photo) and I as team captains for the day and told us to choose teams. When we were done, we got onto the pitch. Mutaks had simple instructions for our first game: focus mainly on applying our defence pattern and using the width of the pitch in attack. He added that the game would be one of many that would help him make his selection.
The game kicked off. Quite a number of girls got tackled face first in the numerous lakes on the pitch. Yuck!! So much for trying to avoid them. We were quite a sight after the game. Mutaks had a few points to make:
1) We have good hands.
2) We don't use the width of the pitch.
3) The tackles were great but our defence formation sucked (he didn't use those words though).
4) Our lungs need opening up so we should all carry our sneakers for an 8km run on monday.
