marathon and football

The Jinja marathon took place last month with over 1000 runners. Three weeks beforehand we held a running ‘trial’ for all the 1moreChild children where the top ten runners were then entered into the 10km race. The 1moreChild boys were by far the youngest, but were all in the top 100 with the fastest being Lorot Moses.

The Jinja district football tournaments took place recently in which the boys’ primary school, Main Street Primary School (a school of 1000 pupils), competed. There were two age groups (seniors and juniors) and to win, each team had to play four group matches, a quarter-final, semi-final and final. The senior team had seven 1moreChild children involved and they reached the semi-finals narrowly losing on penalties. The junior team, involving eight of our boys, won the tournament and now head to the National Championships in August.
