Inter Church Football Tournament - Sunday 7th

Up at 8 today and went to the hopsital to see Sibacarzi. She was feeling well and the operation was a success and has to take it easy now. Mark and I then had breakfast in the hospital cafe before heading to the church. We began to cook our food on the BBQ and had some really nice lamb chops and some chicken kebabs. We then commenced the church football tounament and we had our first game against a decent team, but we managed to win 2-0. The 2nd game we played we won 3-0 and I accidentally gaves someone a nose bleed when they got in the way of one of my shots. The 3rd we won 3-0 and Dave managed to accidentally trample someones hand, so that they couldn't lead worship at the evening service. I managed to score 1 goal in each of the games which was a nice bonus. Winning all 3 games meant that we qualified for the final against the winners of the group. Just before the final in another game, Riaan, the church pastor collapsed with a snapped achaeles tendon and was rushed to hospital and will have surgery tomorrow morning. This also meant that the preacher for the evening service was also unable to be at the service. After it had calmed down we then commenced the final against a really good team, it was a close match and most of our teams legs were tired from playing today and yesterday, but Greg managed to rifle in a goal 1 minute from time to win the game for us. After helping tidy away all of the stuff Mark and I then headed back to have a wash and then headed back to the evening service, where there was another person leading the worship, and Bruce preached again. The service was a celebratory service for the church has been running 10 years, and 3 years in its current venue. It was a really good meeting and was very interesting and lots of fun. There was also a guy there for the first time who just saw us playing football that afternoon when he drove past and decided he wanted to come to the church in the evening. We then headed home for dinner before heading to our beds to recover from all the football over the weekend.
