At 9am on New Year’s day I started 2014 with a live broadcast from the promenade in Freetown. As far as I could see along the beach young boys were playing football.

Game after game in either direction along the coast. The ocean was disregarded as a sideline, the ball was kicked in and out of the water with play continuing the whole time.
