Vingt-quatre heures du fut (24 hours of soccer)

It was the big Telethon weekend. Every village and city in France had banners, bake-offs and sporting activities to raise money. I think the money is to be sent to help the people in Africa. Our village of Bourron Marlotte had football pour vingt-quatre heures. It was an indoor match that took place in the tennis courts. You had to donate at least 1 euro or more to play. Spencer's friends invited him to join them at 7pm Friday night. He called Taylor at 9pm and asked him to join the group. They played until almost midnight. Saturday Spencer went back for more in the morning and then late afternoon. This was paradise for our soccer junkie!
