Merely an Extra Training Session for our Soccer Guys

Sepak Takaw – The team consisted mainly of our Soccer guys. They had never had any training for Takraw before this.

It was 830 in the morning and we decided that it was slightly too early for the match (which starts at 9am), hence, the whole team went Canteen 2 for breakfast. Well after all, it was important for our players to fill their stomach before the game begins!

The game started at 915am, with Andy, Kang Chiat and Richard representing our Hall for the first set. Andy’s kicks were remarkable! He helped to clinch as many as 5 points for our Hall with his trademark volleys. Richard’s heading of the ball, assisted by Kang Chiat’s kicks, was so impressive that it won claps from the crowd!

Elvin, Dao Hao and Chang Yue played in the second set. Elvin dominated in the whole game. However, fantastic kicks by Elvin (man in picture) weren’t enough to win the game for us. Admittedly, we made numerous serving errors in this game.

The third set was the best of all! It was electrifying right till the end of the match. Alvin’s kicks were flawless. The ball spin slightly over the net, and our opponents (Hall 1) had to make a few dives to return the ball. Victor almost forgot that he was playing Takraw instead of soccer, returning the ball under the net. But Victor peaked towards the end of the game, pulling a few points back for Hall 15.

All in all, it was merely an extra training session for our guys. But our guys did not pass this ‘training session’ of theirs, as we lost all 3 sets to Hall 1. But looking at how well our players played today, I strongly believe that we will be able to win in our next match next Saturday.
