youth no more.

it's saturday.

yesterday was a tough day. in the wee hours of friday, Germany sunk Portugal 3-2 in the EURO 2008 quarter-finals match. later that night, Hornets lost to Whye Nam. that, too meant that that in 2nd round of the youth cup, Hornets recorded a 3 win and 2 loses and was eliminated out of the youth cup. and coincidentally, portugal lost because of some amateurish defending, which was also the case for us.

yesterday was supposedly a match that we were supposed to win, as of what i saw on court and of what han lin said every quarter and after the match. whye nam yesterday was totally not the team that we all saw every other match. missed passes, lay-ups, travelling, 3-sec in box etc. and, on top of that, the referees are totally helping us, by calling more calls against whye nam. with all these advantages for us, we still couldn't win them, cause we didn't put the ball into the basket. penetrated but missed, open shots but missed.

anyway, thanks to every one that accompanied me throughout the whole of this youth cup. thanks to han lin, for coaching us though he's busy with his own work. thanks to zhi cheng for leading on the team. thanks wei jian for the seemingly limitless energy he has in every game. thanks to darwin for the points he made in all the games. thank for having me as a part of the team and end the youth cup this way. next stop for us will be the 青年杯. * i don't know what is the english version of the tournament call* anyway, that will be the U-22 cup. so let remain as a team and train towards the next tournament and hopefully if Eng Tat Hornets is going to send us for that cup in the years to come.

for now, i'll be joining up with the people of clementi csc to train for the inter-constituency games. don't know if i'll be in, but hopefully, i'll gain something out of training with them. :)
good luck kelvin :) good luck my hornets team mate :) all of you are the best :)
