Netball @ KDU 2013

Unlike previous years, the KDU Sport Challenge 2013 is no longer in July, it has started few days ago. Initially, I was thinking to take a rest this year. Well, I have participated in Campus Run and Athletics during the first year, Netball and Athletics last year, this year I would like to take a break and watch the match =P But at the end of the day, my housemates dragged me into the Netball team again @.@

If you ask me, I will say I cannot even play netball well. Back into high school, girls used to play basketball instead of netball. When I came to KDU, girls are only allowed to participate in netball tournament and basketball tournament is strictly for guys only~ During last year's Sport Carnival, I just had a random thought to pick up the skill and hence, I joined the team. Till then, only I found out that there is actually so many restrictions in netball. All along I thought the players are only not allowed to move when they caught the ball, but it's actually more than that, including the area for each players, the roles, footsteps and of course the coordination among the team.

I admit that my footsteps ain't that good, maybe I just have the stamina and the skill in getting the ball from opponent team (they call it defend) which become the advantages for me. This year, Yellow Team members are better than last year, at least we got into more serious training and we do have more good players. It was clearly shown when we defeated the Blue Team, which was the champion for many years consecutively, and draw with the Green Team, which was usually the second.

We were all surprised when we won against the Blue Team with 4:3, just one goal ahead from them. Although we were aiming for the best game, not the first place, but that match seriously boosted our spirit. At the end, the result was a draw among the Blue, Green and Yellow, each of us has won 2 match. So, they counted by goals and Blue Team got the first place and we had to rematch with Green Team as we had the same number of goals. Then, we appeared to be the 3rd place~

Although we still remained as the 3rd place like last year, this year's was definitely a better match as compared to last year's. Despite the little argument between the captain and the staff and Eunice twisted her leg, everything went so well. I guess this would be my last sport match in KDU? haha~
