Battle LOST!!!!

Oh well, just another "let down" for badminton tournament.. My team and i went to UCSI early in the morning.. We reached there at 8am in order to register for our team.. Since our game was going to start at 10am, we had "dim sum" for breakfast before the match started..

UCSI was the organiser for this tournament and also our "enemies" for the first match.. Before the match started, we were wondering, "where are the players for UCSI? Are they still having 'secret' training at else where or something?".. About 20mins before the match, they finally arrived.. And guess what, their girls are real GOOD!! As for our team, our guys are REAL GOOD too...but the girls (including me), i think ALL of us were too nervous and i do think that we are not as good as the opponents.. In the end, we were defeated in our Women Singles, Women Doubles and Mixed Doubles, in other word, we LOST!! Sorry guys, i know it was our fault.. Sigh..

For the second match, our opponents are from HICT.. This team has ONLY one girl which is GOOD and the guys are of course, not as good as our team's.. And yup, we WON!! But no matter how, we're still losing.. In order to get into semi finals, each team has to be the champion out of 3 teams..

Anyway, it was a good experience seeing that we were the FIRST team representing the University of Nottingham Malaysia.. haha.. And i believe that for next year, we are definitely going to perform way better than this.. In order to WIN, what we need are good team management, proper and more frequent trainings, communications among the guys and girls, and also CONFIDENCE!!! Nott's badminton team, i've faith in you, we CAN DO IT!!! ^.^
