AUGUST TWEET UP: The Result

Saturday 4th August...And the long awaited day of the Tweet Up is upon us. What looked like the beginning of a boring day began. Only few people had arrived(five to be exact) by midday and the weather didnt look that friendly. On the pitch at that moment.. @kevin_seth @doogie @shiroh101(who wasnt playing but yes, there are soccer loving mamis), myself and two other guys.

The mamis present that day


12:30 ninjas began arriving, one by one and before we knew it.... GAME ON!!

And the soccer was played... Dimba ikagaragazwa. By halftime... @kevin_seth's side led 5-3. Free scoring bagas....

Ki_Bet... Luis Nani on the Wings
Halftime... Doogie provides energy drinks. Shiroh101 provides soda and everyone is re-energized. Then, enter @sirfender and the game changes. From being one-sided to... The other-sided. If there is anything of the sort. My point is, power shifted.

The control was back in our posession as Sir Fender controlled affairs from midfield going forward, and Artur being able to help out elsewhere on the wings. Kibet was our Luis Nani, with Flair on the wings and his brilliant passes. To be fair though, Kevin Seth's team were also a real threat coming forward... With Kevin, Doogie and @Sleven_kalevra aka Anto running riot at times.
SirFender... asset in any team

There were moments of panic though when the game had to stop because of what threatened to be horrifying injuries. DingoKG looked to have passed the test of metal by chesting a huge stone... Him and another friend of ours, Davie. Tali also felt that since he wasnt getting enough of the ball, he had to kick at something. Poor boy, he took a rock to the shin. All in all, all injuries were minor and manageable.

The remaining crew.. after most had left
Later on, we all headed to Cactus... An eatery joint near Yaya Centre for lunch. All in all, it was a good day, well spent. Sad we couldnt capture the moments on the pitch as we all were involved in play. Many thanks to all who showed up, mentioned, unmentioned... And even those off twitter(Tali, Davie, Mike, DingoKG, Joel and the rest) and the ladies too.

The only downside was the body pains that came afterwards from three straight hours of play. I hope everyone is fine now
