during our last match in the first half against acs(i) first team, we managed to hold them 1-0.. bert said that with a little bit more guidance before nationals, we could have make it past to the second round.. if only, there were fewer conflicts in the team, coach really drilling us the way he wants us to play during the last crucial month before nationals instead of doing that only on the last training for half an hour and at least a or some friendlies to gear us up for nationals. the last month was screwed. coach was with his B div. team, we barely know what to train, did physical mostly, captain last minute make jersey, mr. wee say no funds, cant book field unless want play friendlies at hockey village -.-
and so off we went for nationals, unprepared.
i used to envy how high profile ccas like badminton, rugby and soccer having supporters to cheer them on. the feeling of having the whole school being down there for you is so wonderful can. is like the extra player on the field, giving you the additional boost. i remembered the match against cj was horrible. it feels like being in a cage (cuz the entire hockey field was enclosed with fence to prevent the ball from flying out) and cj ppl filled everywhere. it feels like being suffocated. (i can only to whine dun i?) throughout the nationals, i learned that empty vessels make the most noise, thus i shut up and just focus on the man i'm marking and concentrate on the game instead. i learned to be more aggressive, making physical contacts to scare the opponents. like what zhihan taught me, 要张开翅膀. surprisingly though, the teams we met in our group are not that violent (unless you count the fact that the singh hit izzat with his drag flick. ouch! -.-) there were funny moments too. like when coach was so mad at desmond that he told him to bring his basket and set up a pinic on the other end of the field.
the guy's team did not bond as well as the girls. but i do hope we share the same passion. already the new batch of hockey girls are training now! i wonder what happened to the guys? haha.. oh ya, we didnt have our testimonial match with our senior batch. really hope to have a testimonial match against the juniors.. play this lovely sport for one last time..
sometimes i find myself pondering what if i had joined rugby? i'll be in the high profile clique plus maybe plate champions as well?
i remember we used to eat omelettes and than shit later before our matches start because we were too gan cheong..
my favourite XI would be:
proud to be in team jj hockey
pride of a 07/08 player
