Mutare Old Boys Association took part in the Zim Alumni Football tournament held in Birmingham UK over this past Spring Bank holiday weekend.
Fielding a team with an average age of 55 years was never a winning strategy, but it was the participation that mattered. Indeed, an opportune excuse to meet and break bread with former schoolmates, some we had not physically met in over 3 decades!
With our fine branded apparel, we avow to be the best dressed team on the day! To quote the Master of Ceremony announcement over the public address system, ‘Ha-a, uniform yakanaka iyi vakomana!’ The players only kept the tops as souvenirs (because the sizes were too large for current students), but shorts and shocks were donated to the school hockey club.
Next year’s event is likely to take place during the same holiday weekend, hence block your calendars now if you are interested. More detailed communication to follow nearer the time.
Sincere gratitude to our project managers; Robbie Mandisodza, Gus Mberi and Hilton Bayayi.
