Inter-class soccer

It was a great day for 3B and though it wasn't really the best position to get, we have done our best and proved that we can really be the fittest class of the batch... Though we were the surprise package in the group stages, beating all odds to proceed on to the knock-out stage, we didn't just stop there. We went on to beat 3F in the quarter-finals with a wonderful penalty by Gia and gave our best shot in the semi-finals and 3rd/4th placing, giving 3E and the other class (forgot) a real challenge. To be truthful, our team isn't exactly the most talented of the lot but it was through our spirit and dare to try that really got us so far. On the pitch, Jinghui was encouraging every form of good play by the team and everyone really gave their all. On the sidelines, lots of people took their time off to sit down and cheer for the team. There were around 15 who came to support, some left half-way but that isn't the point. We really cheered our hearts out, had lots of fun even on the stands with Lumpy's chem, Jie Liang's commentary and Jerald's errrr... well Jerald's Jerald. In the end, I guess it was really the class spirit which got us so far. Kudos to the team for playing so well too, even when we got a scare when Erdong's shoe tore and Xiong Wei had a cramp. Mark was really inspirational on the field. Gia was powerful. Xiong Wei gave much breadth to the team and Keng Yong had style. haha. There isn't really anyone in our class who can play in the goal and it takes much courage to take up that challenge. In the end, Keng Yong played a major role in the team, keeping out some vital goals and although he did make a few mistakes, it would have been much worst if we didn't have a keeper at all. Of course, there was Leonard who was so willing to step up as a substitute when we were in need of people... Everyone was just very great. Once again, I guess 3B has showed that we are a class which does not need class outings to be bonded together. We have showed that 3B is indeed a force to be reckoned with. We may not have the imba-ness of Jie Hao, the most sporty people, or even a really good goalkeeper. But in the end, we did our best. Everyone did their best and it was the class spirit which really won us the 4th position. It was a well-deserved result.
