Humjibre Football Gala 2013

A photo essay by Lawrence Donkor

Last week, Humjibre held its annual three-day football gala, from March 13-15.  All of the primary and junior high schools in Humjibre and Muoho participated in the tournament, and every player gave it their best.  Football is very popular here in Ghana so the football gala is a very exciting time for everyone in the community.  Many people come out to support the players and cheer for their favourite team.  Here's a set of pictures taken over the course of the tournement:

Watching football was a great way to spend my birthday!

In the end, Muoho JHS Girls were the winners out of the girls teams.  District Assembly Primary School won the primary school division, and Christ Redeemer JHS boys won at the junior high school level.

The tournament was a lot of fun for everyone, and I was very happy to spend my birthday watching football!
