The Adventist hospital and Government hospital were playing
against each other in a football match today. Despite the heat, we went along
to cheer for whichever side was going to win. It was actually a very organised
event – there’s a large stadium in Gimbie town, illustrating just how large the
town actually is. As well as a range of refreshments (well actually some green
oranges in a wheel barrow and goodness knows what kind of drink decanted into
Mirinda bottles) they even had the equivalent of the Red Cross there, with a
small tent and what looked like it might be an ambulance. For a moment, you
could have closed your eyes and thought you were back in England enjoying the
county show on a Sunday afternoon – OK, this really would have stretched the
imagination a little far but there were some
vague similarities…..it was Sunday afternoon at least.
By half time, no goals had been scored but we were provided
with some interesting entertainment in the form of a display from the
presumably local marshal arts school. They were really very good and I am
pleased to say, there were some girls as well as boys in the group. The second
half warmed up a bit ore and although the government hospital scored the first
goal, the Gimbie Adventist hospital also managed to get a goal in before the
whistle was blown.
