The Under-16 boys of of BYC were very thrilled and excited for winning and are optimistic that they will make it to the finals. The second semi-final match to be played at home will take place on Monday 11th and this will determine if the boys get to play in the finals.
The Champions of the Cup will walk away with a full set of football jerseys and two goats. Well, we hope they win because there is going to be an awesome celebration of 'Nyama Choma' if they get the two goats!
However BYC Kiwalani's victory does not come easy. The boys have to walk at least 7 kilometres just to reach the football grounds of Kitunda, and they have to practise alot. Their commitment and hard work are things to admire from these boys, from coming for practice every evening to walking long distances just to take part in sports. They also sometimes contribute a small amount of money to make sure they get something to eat before they leave for the match. But at the end of the day, the challenges that these teams go through are just a stepping stone to victory! We wish them all the best in the forthcoming matches.
The Kitunda Family Cup is organised by Kitunda Army Camp (JWTZ) of Tanzania who through the cup aim to promote football in their community and also to bring youth together.
