I have found myself rather busy these days due to my Honours degree studies this year.
However, soccer season finally began this weekend and it gave me an escape from the pressure of
university studies.
It was an enjoyable day for everybody, especially the little kids. Even the refs had a good time (parents and coaches were in a very good mood). The fun, however, was stopped by rain in the afternoon.
Have a look at a few interesting pictures of the
season-opening under-10 tournament at which I was a referee on the 2nd
of March 2013.

| Call me "Shuffle" |
 |
| That's me kicking out dissent very early on in their young careers |
 |
| I love how youth football is all about improvisation and more about simply letting everybody play the game, even if you don't have the correct kit |
