Dunfermline Athletic club strips bring glory











‘Services’ Junior Secondary School team donned DAC strips this week and won successive matches Monday and Wednesday that puts them in position to win the League Cup for schools of the whole city (pop. 1.3 million) this Friday. Some team members were too exhausted to play in the tropical jungle heat yesterday because of the fierce battle in Monday’s game when they won by a slim penalty. They are now gearing up for a death-or-glory match on grass at the national stadium (in photo background) this Friday. Watch out for the blog!

DAC donated strips from last season via the Vine Church’s representative in Freetown ‘Dr Dave’. Dr Dave’s neighbouring carpenter friend’s son, Sam Tommy, is centre back for the team. Sam came with a pal to Dave’s room Sunday night to select their dream shirts, shorts and socks. Next day these were laid out beside the pitch and donned for the match.
