The Big Match

The soccer match was between the STM team and the schools soccer team. We played for an hour and changed ends at half time. Our foreman was our referee. The Canadian side was bolstered by the school superintendent and our driver Frank, who was our goalie. The Rwandan team was very good but had trouble defending against Johnathan, James, and Ryan. During the heavy competition Lisa Mitchell did a 9.5 stumble. She was able to continue playing, but now has a large bruise on her leg. Our goalie Frank made some outstanding saves and Maya scored on a penalty kick. The final score was Canada 3 Rwanda 0. The village children and the entire student body watched the match cheering on our team. After the game we showed the Rwandan team how to do a traditional hand shake.

We suspect that the highschool team held back and will be better prepared for the re-match.
