Congratulations all, we are through to the semis against NYP with 3 very strong strikers, quote karfai. 2nd is either NUS or NTU, or so i heard.... i shall confirm again.
First game: Against MOE
REGU 1 shawn, lye heng, daming
Tekong debut for Shawn. 'Ever ready to play after flying' Daming found it hard to throw for Shawn despite his WIDE ANGLE service haha. Trailing in the beginning but caught up with the game after Daming woke up and starts to deliver his kills. 2nd set, Shawn finally tink his serves gg, so he swapped with lye heng who had a high conversion rate to finish off the first regu.
REGU 2 barney, bingjie, weimin
AUG regu reunites again. Had trouble with the 'lao jiao' NTU, NIE MOE striker being able to adjust his strikes to gain points easily. However, the break comes in when the tekong and the setter cui. First set is taken with barney's service. 2nd set is a close 21-20 game. quote for the regu: "dun jaru ok? play our own style!" then i jaru an out ball which brings the game to 20-20. dun lidat la i oso took one lipat on the back of my head oso.... luckily its not being brought to the third set :D
REGU 3 kaijun, eugene, kenny
being able to play without any pressure is definitely a good thing. shaky starting as well, but everyone pick up and kenny earned points with his jiam kills and weird headers haha. perhaps a reallie good warm up game for kaijun as he had consistent service later on.
and yay our CY wedding team finally arrive.
Second game: Against SP
REGU 1 shawn, lye heng, royston
player to watch of the game: no.4 SP tekong the chiobu. ask for ball wayang his fingers, serve with such delicate posture with that tied up hair. Shawn produced some good tekong serves for the first set but again swap position with lye heng again to sum up the game. roy kills were pinpoint, either a clever drop or a jiam kill.
REGU 2 barney, bingjie, weimin
the first set was very interesting as the points were tight. they took the lead and we chased back and its back to back until 18-18 where we lost it suddenly. hongwei replaces me after a few points into the second set, debut appearance! he came in snatching a few points, scaring the opponents a little. barney's service seems harder with hongwei's good throw. another close set at 16-21.
REGU 3 kaijun, eugene, joseph
Striker debut for jo. painful falls he had but each resulted in sibei dua lut kills. eugene had some weird decisions sending 2nd balls when he was in a good position to set, probably variating the game play a little. kaijun service were consistent, but too consistent that it was easy for the opponents to take it into their game. impt point for tekong. eventually, weak first balls cause the game but it was reallie a good fight.
Nevertheless, we r thru to the semis, we shouldnt have too much regret since we r able to challenge NYP. Imagine if we first in grp, we win the 2nd which is either NTU or NUS then SP win NYP, lidat never get to challenge NYP! although we could have continue our 'unfinish' business with SP. Somehow with SP line up, personally i feel they r hiding something still, like probably some damn zai players not around then play tat chiobu. -.-
Im looking forward to the final games with NYP since karfai said they had 3 strong strikers. meanwhile ill update the rest again when i find out the grp results for the other side.
Unplayed player Peian say he damn sad haha. aaawwww. Team Management, pls dun overlook his hardwork while ur are working and hes playing with me everyday in eusoff hahaha. :P
whatever it is, lets work hard and cya all on TUESDAY for TRG, to be confirmed. stay tune to blog or check facebook events thanks.
