According to Erny, we, the BUC Captainball Team of 2007, had no rankings in the overall league... We did however come in 3rd in the post-season match-up. This, Erny said, was pretty much unexpected. Still.. We won! :D Hahaa.. Joined the team for the last two weeks only as a reserve member thanks to Erny's persuasion.

The unexpected win will go into "My Personal Diary" as a success in a sport I certainly have never excelled in. How funny it was, JIT, claimed (by himself) to know nuts about the game, browsed Wikipedia in search for the rules of the game. No luck there, he wanted and almost did manage to pull out. But with much silky smooth talks, I got him back in the team. OH... Ying Choy played too in the first week but had a tuition class to attend to the week after. Ying Choy is not in any of the pictures below but he did give all his guts to help the team to glory.

The game to me was like that: Came in, played, tired, got sub out.. Lasted 20 (I think) minutes only for each game; but its a stop-clock game. This means that if the ball goes out, the officials will stop the clock and restart it once the ball is inbound. SO.. yep there's plenty for everyone to do something. The final game was a real drama. It was to decide 3rd or 4th placing. We were leading all the way till half-time. They caught up and widen the gap. Also, the cheers from their subs GREW louder (Toning my voice down and the crowds; the crowds were behind us but.. ) as that made us felt a little demoralizing. We kept our spirits high though and soon enough we manage to chase till a one point deficit; advantage the opponent. It was down to the final 10 seconds where Jia Yein threw the buzzer-beater, THE game-winning shot which brought us the third place crown. Cheers to the team! Everyone, maybe not me, shares a part of this success and of course, an outstanding display in defence by Erny.

The Team in Red. Gunners and MU working together?

We kick ass!

Pride and Joy.
