the game today wasnt well planned like the one i had last night. strike balls werent heard, the whole match consist of individual plays by ken and zaid. the first match was played with the lions. they played dirty but we have to accept the fact that it is not a visible foul for the ref to see. we played badly, i couldnt speak for the first 10mins due to my throat problems, i cant get rid of the sore throat and the cough. both came together during the match and i almost puked. i let the backlines down today as a pack leader.(deleted*)how we ruggers train, how much blood and sweat we sacrificed? how eager we are to win, but yet looking at afew faces as they felt the lost of confidence in just afew minutes to the game. even with half my eye sight for the match earlier, with my illness. i still played, although it wasnt good, i know my faults, i know my errors. in just 1 month, the season will be here, and i dont want to regret that , oh, i should have played more. my triumph winger, SICK. how sickly can he be? count kenny out since his back is important. everyone have injuries, just they do not show it physically. all that counts is the mentality we have. i have experienced first hand on what confidence may play a part in a competition, last year NYJC went into top 4 in table tennis, not by skill, but sheer will and determination, every ball won, was as if they won the competition, be it they are losing by afew, or winning by afew. their cheers rang the halls of chung cheng sec. all we need is to shape our mentality, play their psychology warfare. and we are on our way to the top 4. i just hope everyone wakes up, especially the backlines, and afew forwards who are taking it easy as of now.
