Football

Village vs. St. Paul's in the finals
Look at the size of the crowd!
Me, Greates, and Jeanelle
One of the social events that brings Kittitians together in one setting is football (aka soccer for all you North Americans out there).  I'm not a huge football fan at heart, but everyone can enjoy the atmosphere of competition, rivalry and pride of backing one's own village's team.  Here I  am at one of the final games with a couple of my newfound friends watching Village take on St. Paul's, with Village coming out victorious in the end and coined new champions of 2011.  Although the loss for St. Paul's did not leave the reaction quite like what was found in Vancouver after the Canucks loss the other week (seriously guys? Seriously?), Kittitians do take their sports seriously and football happens to be an integral part of the culture of St. Kitts.
