Damba Road Championship




The other day we received a formal, hand-written invitation to attend the Damba Road Under-12 Football Championship. The field is close enough that balls hit our house multiple times each day. One time a stray ball broke a window, and our guard brought the terrified boys to apologize to David. So, it was only right that they made us guests of honor at the final match.

My favorite part was listening to the announcers, older neighborhood boys who would take turns on the microphone and then make fun of each other's comments. "Usman has the ball. What are you going to do? What can you do? Oh! The ball was dispossessed by Usman. As we know, what goes up must surely come down. Now Alpha, what can you do?"
