Game 2 of the guys Volleyball match was postponed on the 22nd to the 27th due to the rain and it was in a way a blessing in disguise for the Hall 4 players. One of the players were not able to make it on the initial scheduled date while another had a sprained ankle and we thought that would be the end of our journey. Lucky for us, we were back in full force today to face off with Hall 9 to qualify for the Quarter-finals.
However, things didn't seem to be promising when the first set began. We were having troubles with our receiving, coordination and service, leading to a devastating 2-12 start. After a brief time-out, we managed to slowly creep back into the game, and the opponents were slightly taken aback. We narrowed the gap to 4, but it was too late, we lost the first set 21-25.
It was like a completely different game in the second set. We had an incredible 5-0 run and things started to work in our way. We kept our composure and played the game in our own pace, eventually making a remarkable set win 25-13. It was indeed tougher in the third set, as it was the deciding set, both teams were determined to earn themselves a place in the Quarter-finals. It was a point for point game, make it or break it, any error will prove detrimental to the team. We weren't giving up that easily, hence we battled on and managed to have a slight edge over Hall 9. Over time, more and more errors were made by the Hall 9 players, we just kept our cool. With the many outstanding blocks by our centre Hsi En and spikes from our team captain Geoffrey, we gave no chance at all for the opponents and nailed the set 25-20, hence winning the game. It was a commendable effort by our players and we will definitely look forward to the next round, with many more hard battles to come.
