GOMO TONG FC VICTORIOUS OVER ESTONIA
From the start of the match Gomo Tong FC controlled the pace... coming out with a convincing "W" over Estonia 9-3. Coach Ssemakula's starting line-up included: Hannington Ojok, Dennis Opio, Joshua-Joseph Ochieng and Lamex Lambart at keeper.
By halftime, Gomo Tong FC was up 4-1 with the crowd energized under lights of the Grand Parade at Cape Town night. Late in the second half Auma Zainabu, one of the members of Girls Kick It! entered the game and exhibited a flurry of defensive excellence leading to a goal by Gomo Tong FCs youngest player (at 17 years) Mambo Bosco.
Tomorrow, Gomo Tong FC faces off against:
Switzerland at 1:20pm
Russia at 5:45pm
Point of interest....Switzerland, lost to Russia today after the game was ended due to "foul play" by both sides.
Morale is high and the team is ready for the face off with the remaining two teams in their bracket.
