BYC winners and Football Bonanza

BYC- Kiwalani, Kitunda Cup Winners!!
The Kitunda Family Cup finally came to an end on the 8th of July and B.Y.C clinched the top position!! BYC Kiwalani were awarded with a set of football jerseys, a football and a goat.  Just after BYC's Under 16 boys team came from the EAC, they prepped themselves up for the match and their efforts beared good results.

Tanzania's SuperStar Sports Magazine.
The awards were given by the Chairman for sports in Kitunda ward, Ernest Komba and the Chairman of the local government, Selemani Mtema. Komba congratulated BYC Kiwalani for their efforts and encouraged them to work hard in order to be able to participate in the leagues organised by the Ilala District Football Association. 
Before BYC begin their matches, there are usually movement games done by KAO peer leaders, thus an HIV/AIDS message is always passed before a ball is kicked. 
Well it seems that they are going to enjoy 'Nyama Choma" after all.

The goat that was won.

Ongoing tournaments and leagues
BYC's Under 16 is participating in the Ujirani Mwema Cup at Kigamboni in Dar es Salaam. They played against West Zone of Kigamboni and won 3-0 on the 9th of July. Thus training and preparations are still going on for the coming matches. 

Football Bonanza- Friendly Match for the Young and Old
BYC Kiwalani and Buguruni together prepared a football Bonanza- friendly match between elders who are parents for the youth and the youth at the Kiwalani grounds. This bonanza took place on the 15th of July starting at 8.00 a.m. up to 12 midday.

The aim of the match was to familiarize the elders/parents for children in both centres, exchange ideas and also provide health education.

The results for the match were as follows:

In the end it was the BYC Kiwalani youth who won the match.

The elders/parents on both sides were very glad with the arrangement since they had the opportunity to meet and familiarizes with each other and they proposed that such an activity should be done on a regular basis.

In future, BYC aims to target more elderly community members to reach most people in the wider community. This will also include health education such as on HIV/AIDS issues.
