1-0 is officially my most hated scoreline.
went to watch the girls hockey team play ytd against pj..do or die match for them..sounded pretty familiar..the first half seemed pretty close fought..end to end action..then pj got a short corner..and well..scored..ac fought back immediately..and scored too from a short corner but screw the rules bout not being able to score high shots from short corners..esp when it was a damn good finish..rahh so they went into the 2nd half a goal down..another familiar scenario yet again..credit to the girls..they totally dominated the 2nd half..so much that pj got nowhere close to their goal..you could tell who was hungrier for the win..the pj goal was just being pelted with shots..but the goal never came..just like how we never celebrated the equaliser against hwa chong..and the feeling of watching it from the stands..that really sucks..and just watching them leave, dejected..damn i knew how that felt like..
and now im reminded of how we had our last team talk..how i made the last prayer and started crying..and how i felt shortchanged..yes thats the word..and the feeling of a premature ending..honestly..its something you'll only understand when you feel it..like you've let everyone down..
but whenever u feel that way..and heres to the hockey girls..look at the results of the hard work all of you put in: a whole team crying together..unity..something that beats silverware any day.. and a team giving their all on the pitch for each other and for god's glory..passion..that feels better than celebrating a win..and the memories..dont put them aside..for both the hockey and soccer team..all the trainings..the overseas tour..the jokes..everything..it was worth every bit of sweat put in..and just look at the team's improvement since day 1..thats something worth being proud about knowing that you were part of it..dont try and erase those memories..whenever u see a ball..or your jersey..just think back..and smile..cos god was so good to let you be part of it :)
