We had a netball game on Saturday in classic Malawian style. The game started right on time, 2 hours late. Our girls were quite pleased to use the new Gracious t-shirts as jerseys. The game was hard fought and ended in a 19 -19 draw. Or a 20-19 loss; I’m still not sure. What I can say for sure is that there was a lot of yelling, jumping around, and singing at the end of the game.
Score was kept on both sidelines. At the end of the game both teams cheered dramatically. We had come back to tie the game with two late scores. Or, they had held off a late Gracious onslaught to win the game. When the teams discovered that they disagreed about the score, our girls started shouting and singing as they chased the Koche Hill girls to the road side. No one on either team seemed particularly upset, and so I just watched on with amusement. The referee was mysteriously absent in all of this apparently her job ended when she blew the final whistle.
