So it has been over a month of great moments, struggles and lots and lots of hard work.
I arrived at the stadium (same place all of the Black Terrors games are played) at 6:30, the first game is at 8:00am and hte entertainment music acts supposed to start around 9:30am.
We are collecting a gate fee and a representative of each team is there to help at the gate. The SRFA lines the field, puts up the net and brought my new good ball I bought in the US for the games. It was all we needed to start.
And unlike many things in Swaziland soccer actually starts on time. And so at 8:00AM SSCS main event began. We were setting up tents, banners, MTN showed up with tables & chairs, the PA system was set up, DJ and entertainment acts performed, AMICAALL talked about HIV.
Unfortunately, PSI didn't show up on to talk about Male circumcision I still haven't heard the official reason why they didn't show.
The first game was exciting at half time it 3-0 and the end it was 3-3 and into penalties where it went to the sixth kick. The next game was Sabelo's team, unfortunately he couldn't play cause of his responsibilities to the event. His team won 2-1. The third game was the Black Terrors vs Amagagasi, last season we beat Amagagsi in a dramatic win (http://swazilandreflections.blogspot.com/2010/11/game-6-3-3-0-12-points.html) and lost 0-1 to them. Well, as I stood in the stands as the organizer of the event the team was playing in, I felt very little regret in quitting. The team showed up way after the other team. The other team got a good 30 minutes of warm up, The Terrors allowed a goal in first 2 minutes and I had called it to the people around me. I watched the first half then went a relieved the Terrors fan manning the gate. I just could watch. Everytime people ask me "I tell them the executives got to go and will come back.
The 4th game was a 2-1 win and well played, except for the Terrors all the teams palyed well.
