YAY!

We beat BRE 2-1! I played the whole game and had a good match overall.

Led 2-0 at halftime but they crept back and scored after our defence got into another mix up. We deserved to beat them and should not have let them come back into the game. The final few minutes was pretty tense as we held on to win!
Only 3rd place finishers have medals! Yeah! My first NUS medal! Some of the guys are still sulking over the fact that they played today and not tomorrow (final) but we are all pleased we won today's game.

I started right wing and only during the final 20minutes forayed into the centre. It was a much better performance from me. I made some good tackles (special mention goes to the right fullback behind me who did really well covering me too), produced some good passes, and made no mistakes! Unbelievable! Okok. Only a stupid foul throw. Argh. And the captain praised me after the game! He said I did very well, and if only I played like that against BIZ AD. Haha. Guess it just comes down to experience. And I paced myself a lot better today, not running unnecessarily up (since they don't try thread those through passes to me anyway), and watching my opponent carefully and forcing him back to defend me instead of letting him come forward and I have to defend him.

Sprained my left ankle with about 15mins to go. Headed away a corner kick and landed on someone's boots. Those who know me well will know it's nothing usual. It's good it's just a minor sprain. I left the pitch for about 5minutes, had a friend spray me with DEEP HEAT, before running back on.
I feel ok now. Should be up and running tomorrow. Sigh. Old age.

The post game team talk was in high spirits, and we thanked the year 3s for their guidance since they are graduating, and they told us to keep the spirit going and go become champions next year.

That's all in another day of my sucky life. Heh heh.

Back to assignments.
