this saturday saw the first ever inter-office soccer match for SSI in kzn.  the idea has been around for some time but never was acted on until a fortuitous project meeting where i needed to use our environmental branch to report on the ecology of a job site.
when, kushela, the environmental consultant that was assigned to the project mentioned that he played soccer, the discussions for a derby began.
in the following four weeks, to everyone's benefit, kushela took the necessary initiative to organize a field, food, drinks and his eleven-man durban side.
unfortunately, pinetown seemed to use up all their energy in the preparation for the match and had none left to use on the pitch.  at the half, several mercy acts were enacted to reduce the amount of goals being scored by maritzburg.  these acts involved:
-    giving them some of our players
-    making me a striker
