The End of a Remarkable Journey...

It was a crucial match for the Hall4 male volleyballers this evening..as winning the match will guarantee the hall a place in the semi-finals. After many training sessions and hard fought games in the preliminary rounds..our hall has indeed come a long way to be able to advance to this stage of the tournament. We were definitely one of the underdogs in the competition, with only a couple of experienced players and most of the time insufficient players for the training sessions, it is amazing that we got this far, but not without the drive and determination set against out opponents.

This time round, we were up against Hall7..a tough team to beat. Having lost to them during a friendly match, our hall was determined to savage some lost pride n confidence during the game. However, we knew it wasn't easy. We played our Quarter-Finals match at Hall2, and began the first set on the wrong foot, unnecessary errors were made coupled with a few bad receptions, we literally caused our own downfall. Even though we began to catch up during the later part of the set, it was too late. We tried to make it up in the second set, however, we just couldn't perform up to expectations, furthermore, Team Seven is no doubt a better team. We were edged out in the second set, hence, missing out the chance to be in the top 4.




At the end of the day, it's all about participation, teamwork n having fun. We may have lost the game, but we have gained a valuable and memorable experience from the competition. Well done Hall 4 Volleyballers for all the effort and energy put into the games..may we soar to greater heights in the next IHG!
