ORIGN OF FOOTBALL CLUB

Football clubs have existed since the 15th century, but unorganized and without official status. It is therefore hard to decide which the first football club was. Some historians suggest that it was the Foot-Ball Club formed 1824 in Edinburgh. Earlier clubs were often formed by former school students and the first of this kind was formed in Sheffield in 1855. The oldest among professional football clubs is the English club Notts County that was formed in 1862 and still exists today.

An important step for the emergence of teams was the industrialization that led to larger groups of people meeting at places such as factories, pubs and churches. Football teams were established in the larger cities and the new railroads could bring them to other cities.

In the beginning, football was dominated by public school teams, but later, teams consisting by workers would make up the majority of those. Another change was successively taking place when some clubs became willing to pay the best players to join their team. This would be the start of a long period of transition, not without friction, in which the game would develop to a professional level.

The motivation behind paying players was not only to win more matches, but in the 1880s the interest in the game has moved ahead to a level that tickets were sold to the matches. And finally, in 1885 professional football was legalized and three years later the Football League was established. During the first season, 12 clubs joined the league, but soon more clubs became interested and the competition would consequently expand into more divisions.

For a long time, the British teams would be dominant. After some decades, clubs from Prague, Budapest and Sienna would be the primarily contenders to the British dominance.
As with many things in history, women were for a long time excluded from participating in games. It was not before the late 19th century that women started to play football.

TRADITIONAL INSTRUMENT AMONG THE KAMBA

The Kamba  mbeve  is a good example of the gourd-resonated fiddle. The gourd is ‘inverted and then pierced on both sides by a small bow. A string (formerly a tendon from a cow) is stretched across the membrane at the top and affixed on either side to the bow. The bridge, as stated earlier, is optional. The cylindrical wood-resonated fiddle is more common in western Kenya, and was traditionally used with a bridge. The tuning loops and indents found on similar instruments in the south-eastern parts of Africa 1  are not used in Kenya. Instead the tuning peg which holds the string is turned. The bridge may be moved to either end of the membrane to increase or decrease the tension in the string. Bows Kenyan youth have always used their hunting bows as instruments although not much attention is paid to this form of music. Although the hunting bow is used for entertainment, it must be ritually cleaned if it is to be used for therapeutic purposes by traditional doctors. Among the Kamba,
