In a football believing nation like Cameroon the practice of
the sport especially football is almost a hobby for all. Journalist as they
speak and write: so is the temptation so high to think that playing football
could be an easy task. It is this thought that lured sports journalists and
other media related services to inviting the Bamenda III Council in Mezam
Division of the NW region for a friendly match. A week ahead of the encounter
the local media on almost every slot presented the Bamenda III Council as no
match for the journalists and constantly presented themselves as the Millas,
Pelles’s you name it. The Bamenda III council however did not take this lightly
and went on organizing several training session.
Saturday August 3, was the day. The Cameroon Baptist Church
School Mandah mile 3 Nkwen is the playground. The Bamenda III Council arrived
at 12 as scheduled then the journalists were nowhere to be found. As they
arrived some of them already were stinking with beer but one could hear some of
the journalists telling the Bamenda players that they are already leading by
3-nil.
When the game started the journalists were speechless. The
game ended with 5-2 infavour of the Bda 3 council.
In a chat with some of the journalists it was all about
socializing. They however confirmed that the Bamenda III was a good side.
Here are some pictures.
