Friday 19th March marked a historic day in MaP football: the much awaited Shibobo League 2010 finally kicked off!
Crisp white lines and newly fitted nets adorned the emerald stadium for the first time ever as the crowd waited with bated breath for the first game to kick off. The first game on field 1 pitted the mighty Konvicts, led by their tenacious captain Bayan B-Mac Jamali, against an unknown Mopipi side. Konvicts proved to be the better side as they controlled the game and raced away to a 4 nil win. The other game, on field 2, saw the MaP juniors locking horns with Mzekezeke. The game proved to be a simple walkover and the Yung Wuns’ emerged victorious with an emphatic 2 nil win. One of the most exciting games of the afternoon was the young, ambitious Izinyoka side against the old omniscient teacher’s team, led by Jonathan Laverick. On the day, though, raw, young ambition came out victorious with a thumping 6-2 win. But the best performance of the week has to be credited to tournament favourites, All Stars. A team comprised of the best and most talented football players in MaP. All Stars showed their dominance early on against Pharos, having the lion’s share of possession they quickly converted 2 of their chances through the speedy boot of their striker JonT. Midfield Maestro Michael Maroba proved to be one of the most influential players on the day, orchestrating All Stars attacks and manging to bag a hat-trick of goals for himself. All Stars proved too strong a team for the young, fragile Pharos and sent the kids packing home with an 8 nil spanking. Is this All Stars win a forecast of things to come or is there an upset on the cards?
