Summary

Maybe you have never seen Nuns playing football. But they do, at this school in Rome. It’s their habit. Football, handball, what’s the difference for the sisters? And what a job for the ref.!. Now, our pictures show soccer-hounds, but they don’t seem to play to the whistle (if there is a ref.) any more than the Nuns!
