Re: No Subject


During the rainy season all the villages play an inter village league, I suspect the president feels that farming time is wasted by this activity.

He may well be right - BUT I think it might be harder to stop unless the same sort of action is taken against the players and village supporters as has been taken against the bumsters who frequent the tourists spots around the coast.

Even that has not ridded Gambia of the bumster problem, the hardened boys have found 'ways' of persuading the officers involved in the cleanup to leave them alone to continue their pestering of the tourists.

Nawattan, is playing football in the rainy season. The President wants to ban it in the urban areas because the men should go home to the provinces to help their families on the farms.
