City Lads filled weekend. We had a game Saturday - STILL not registered so I played manager and got the roster ready, organized the player cards, and communicated with the refs. Not my favorite way to spend a soccer game/Saturday, but oh well. We won 5-0 even though the wind was insane.
Sunday we had a friendly so I was allowed to play. It was actually a funny build-up. We were playing a team from more in-town/richer area and all the girls were colored or white. When City Lads rolled up, we are a township team and then I am just this white girl. I felt like people would look and wonder what I was doing. Then I sat out the first half so everyone was still wondering. I got to play the whole second half and things went quite well. I am playing up top, but more of a holding forward - just what I like. Right in the beginning of the half I was able to dribble through some defender and get an ok shot off. Within 15 minutes I had scored and a girl was designated to man-mark me. I don't know the last time this happened to me, but it felt awesome. We won 3-0. I want my players card!
