Prison Football Match - Thursday 4th

Up and left by half 7 today, and picked Melissa and Jo up to head to the prison. We all met just out side the prison before going in and signing in. We had a quick warm up before beginning the match, I volunteered to be a sub with Greg, and Tim. AIS scored the first goal after breaking through on goal before the Hope Academy equilised with a headed goal from a cross. I was then subbed on after just 15 mins as Blake got tired in the heat and we were playin roll on roll off subs anyway. Started off on the right wing running up and down, which was really tiring, especially at the altitude and in the heat. We then had half time and went a rested in the shade for 10 mins. We then commenced the second half, and I started of at right back which was nice because it didn't involve too much running for me. We the caught the Hope Academy on the break and went ahead again. I then moved up into midfield for the last 5 mins to give some of the old guys a rest. The games finished 2-1 to AIS which we weren't expecting to win. Afterwards the inamtes shared some testimonies and singing with everyone which was really great to hear how God is working in their lives. We then said our goodbyes and headed back to the office where me and Blake finished off our preperation and planning for Garsfontein school. Mark went out for a meeting and I had a quick power nap on the sofa in the office before we headed home, jumped in shower and had a wash. We then headed out to the shopping centre to get Claire a birhtday present for tomorrow, and then grabbed some all you can eat ribs and buffalo wings at spur. So was a pretty tiring day, and now going to go to sleep.

Speak soon
