Haha. It was fun. A great time for every one. A whole lot of freshies and seniors met up at Yio Chu Kang MRT station for the NYP Invitational, the closest thing to an IVP for ultimate. Boy, did our eyes light up when we saw the pitch! It was magnificent! Haha, nice turf there, perfect for layout-ing.
Basically we played 4 matches, twice each against NYP and NUS. We were trashed silly by NYP, and there really wasn’t much we could do about it. Those youngsters were frigging fast, and their technical skills were so much better than ours. Haha, much more training. And their girls were aggressive, and the team happily let them play deep since our girls weren’t used to defending in the end zone.
Meanwhile, I think NUS must be cursing us right now. When they playe us, their players kept getting injuries. Damn sad lah. The first injury was really bad, when this guy got his studs caught in the ground, and he fell into a heap. You could even hear his bone crack from 50 metres away. Ouch. Basically the bone at the thigh broke and I suppose there was a huge gap, because the leg was quite badly deformed. I really couldn’t do much, but ask for ice, since it really wasn’t feasible to move him around. Later a nursing student came to take charge. Haha. Eh, not so funny actually. The ambulance came, and the game was abandoned. Really sad.
Our last game (after the second match against NYP) was against NUS again, and one by one their players came down with cramps. Haha. The freshies played a lot during this match, and I must say we did well. We managed to win, so our day did end well. =) I had no idea how with my two battered thighs (aching like hell) managed to go for deep cuts to get the disc at the endzone. Oh well, I love scoring anyway. I repeat, I love scoring. And finally I did, twice, and almost a third time but I was just outside the endzone. It felt really good, since the previous match I was sprinting like crazy, yet was unable to grab a disc. At least I helped end that point with a nice pass. Haha, speaking of nice passes, I made my first good hard pass during game-time. I’m damn proud of myself lah! Haha.
Our team played well today lah, especially since it was the first time the freshies were playing 60-minute matches on a standard size field. It was really tiring, and I’m glad I managed to play a part in all the matches, given how bad my muscles have ached due to the repeated trainings the past two weeks. Haha, It’s time to take a break for Biz Law (damn it) and rest for a week. I’m glad I’m in a sports CCA, haha. In fact, I really needed it. Ultimate’s great. Haha. Well done guys.
