Last month, the female staff of CCF battled the Mother's Union of Pader Town Church!
And so, Robert, one of our church members, got the women practising!
Still, we "mothers" had a lot of fun preparing for the big day.
When the big day came, dark clouds were looming over Pader. Marianne called Robert to see if the match was still on. He said it was. So we went to the Mayor's field for the game.
The game was played - but in slow motion! You had to be very, very careful not to slip or wipe out when you ran from the grassy patches onto the muddy patches.
In the end, the church Mother's Union lost 0-2...not a surprise since the CCF women staff were on average younger, fitter, and more practised in soccer. Still, Marianne is thankful for the great fun that preparing for the match brought.
Thanks CCF for letting us play!
