Game Day

It is my 2nd time to play ball games competition with my colleagues. (1st was badminton competition few mths back with Shahnaz). This round match is captain ball with 5 of us; Shahnaz, Farhana, Samantha, Noorlina and Me. Sister Aishah was a reserve and supporter.
It was an opening match and we went to practice 1 hour (5pm) before the match. Nearer to time, we were hoping that our opponent wont be showing up and we can 'walk-over'. However, 1 by 1 of them showed up and our dream of 'walk-over' shattered. Sigh!!
Finally, the match started (6pm) and we run up and down the court. Chasing, guarding and shouting each other for the ball. It was not an easy game for us. The opponent was strong. The court was big. Huh!! I was exhausted...everyone was exhausted...Finally, the 1st half game time was up. Manage to gasp for some air and get some water from water cooler...
2nd half game started. Mary Ann took over from Noorlina. Oh great! Our team appeared slight 'fierce' with Mary Ann. She chased, guarded and tried her best to snatched the ball. Heard from somebody outside the court shouted, "Be careful of No.13" (which refer to Mary Ann). At 1 point, I nearly tripped off myself but, luckily, I managed to balance up myself.
2nd half game time up and we lost the game...both team shaked hand and thanked each other. We left the court and headed to food court. Sister Aishah treated us drink and we chit chat about the games.
Well, though lost in the game, I am happy and satisfied as I can played for my team before my op next week. And I know, we already tried our best in the match. My colleagues will play a much better games next round next week. They already planing for the training schedule and look out who will play in the next round. I gave them moral support...Go go go Ward 17!!! You can do it!!!
