Today, we faced off with Hall 7 for basketball girls; it was a crucial match for us in order to secure a place in the quarter finals. Our girls fought valiantly until the very last mille-second, but apparently lady luck isn’t on our side today, we lost with a final score of 28-29. Nevertheless, our girls performed outstandingly and deserve our cheers, kudos to them!
The match started off on the wrong foot, our poor defense allowed the opponents to gain an upper hand against us and our key player, Cheryl was unable to perform to her potential as Hall 7 being intimidated by her reputation sent their players to double team her. By the end of the 2nd quarter, we were trailing by 9 points with a score of 21-12. However, as the game progresses, we managed to beef up our defenses, giving the opponents no space to breathe under the hoops. In the 3rd and 4th quarter, we held Hall 7 at bay, allowing them to score a mere 8 points over the duration, as we steadily fought back gaining grounds against our opponents. Cheryl pushed on, despite being kept under the watchful eyes of her defenders. She fought really hard, slipping pass the opposing team’s defense numerous times attempting to score, risking being battered by the defenders. Even though the opposing teams committed numerous fouls on Cheryl, the referee only made the call on a small handful. As a result this referee was replaced, due to his inability to make proper judgment call of the match.
Despite all these factors, we managed to catch up with the opponents to a score of 28-29, we were in possession of the ball at the very last minute of the match but sadly, our girls were not able to finish off the opponent with the decisive shot. It was an extremely exciting match down to the last second. Our girls have definitely done their best; I must say they are definitely the best in the eyes of most hall 2 residents. Cheers to them! Well done girls!
In the afternoon, we had our squash match against Hall 3, our squash guys and girls done exceptionally well, winning 4 out of 5 sets of the match. Most of our opponents, were not very seasoned players, as a result, each set was a breeze, except for 1 female match. The opponent proved herself to be a tough nut to crack, and eventually we lost that 1 set. Overall, they guys and girls performed well. Keep it up people!
