NAIROBITS BLOG: Chrisc and Hotgun Bible School tournament

The long awaited tournament that was scheduled to take place on 8th November 2008 at Githogoro field off kiambu road started on a very high note.With the weather so chilly and rainy,it was clear that the day was going to be very interesting.We all took a bus and alighted at Kigwa Stage.

The adventure of the day started off here.The roads were almost impassable and you can bet that it was quite a challenge to get to the field.It was a memorable moment for most of us to make our way through,and yes ,some were forced to walk bare feet.

Muddy it was!!!

The tournament was aimed at bringing youth together to participate in sports while sharing christian values and kicking Aids out .Youth were to participate in a variety of games that included football,volleyball and table tennis.Therefore on arrival,the Nairobits members started preparing themselves for the games which were to start in a short while. We had two football teams,Nairobits A & B and one volleyball team.Team A were first on the road and they were playing against .The fields were so much of a challenge as they were very slippery and muddy ; but this was not a liability to the team.With so much energy and psyched up fun's ,they managed to win the first match with 3 goals to nil.

Having qualified for the next level,they played against their second and third team and managed to score 2-1 and 1-0 respectively.This secured them a place at the quarter finals ; giving them more hopes of winning the semis and finals with the ultimatum of going home as the winners of the day!

Meanwhile ,team B were on the fields battling their first team.Theirs was a different story because after the game the match ended at 0-0.So, they had to go on battling it out for some goals .However we can say that fate had it that they were to go on like this , because after two more matches they managed to still maintain their status.

As more pressure was piling up ,team A went for their quarter finals.They were more determined than ever to win the match and this was evident from the complete passes and attempts to score a goal from the players.
However after a while the opposing team scored their first goal of the match.Several substitutes were brought in and after the game was over,the opposers had won the quarters with 1-0.

The volleyball team went to battle it out with their first team and they won the first set.However they did not manage to beat the second team which won both sets.Despite this ,they were happy that they enjoyed themselves and gave their best in the game.

Well,the day could not end without some great moments which are captured below.So the next time you miss out on such an event , think twice!!
