After watching the Chennai Super Kings on Thursday evening we had a rest day on Friday due to the on-going elections. On Friday evening we attended the weekly Christian Sports Fellowship, where both Paul and Rob shared a few words. The CSF meet every Friday evening, with all of the Christian coaches in the city getting together for a time of worship. We were fortunate also to meet Paul Moses, head of CSF, and a very influential figure in sports ministry worldwide.
On Saturday training resumed with another large group of children coming along to play and take part. Highlight of the day (well, for the kids anyway) was a match between Coaches and Players. Conducted in blistering heat, the coaches truimphed 2-1 with Rob shoring up the defence and Paul playing up front in his usual Andy Johnson/Ivan de la Pena role. We then went to the home of Churchill for lunch, where we were served chicken biryani which was delicious! Churchill has been our guide throughout our trip and has done a fantastic job of taking care of us. He really is the man to know in Chennai!!!
On Saturday evening Rob took Onside Soccer in a whole different direction by conducting a wedding ceremony at Christ Church. We are now also available for weddings and bar mitzvahs! We then managed to get home and see the Cup Final and find out that United had won the league, news which was received better by Rob than by Paul.
All is going really well and the training sessions have been great, with the kids loving the chance to come along. India is fantastic!
