Our third game of the season, we lost 12-2 to owls.

It was a good game for me cos I definitely played better than the sloppy shit against ssg. I had more chances in this game despite the tougher opponents and managed to score a rebound from ayeen's shot! Yayy I knew that would happen eventually right ayeen! You would get it on target and I could get the rebound. I like playing with the 'malay' line.. haha.

I did let in a goal. Was 50-50ing with a player around mid-court and she beat me cos she's super fast, so siti left her player and covered her for me. And she smartly passed to the free player which I could not come back in time to block with my body. Very sharp angle from the corner, but she managed to score. Zai, what can I say! I tried my best to run back and cover, so don't feel that bad about it.

Haha and I think the non-psyching and just having enough rest and not eating too much before games really works for me. I had alot more energy today, coupled with non-slippery shoes, the running improved =)

Still, I am sad for the team. For the silly non-blocking of the turn and shoot goals, for the letting the person you are marking run past you, for the pushing up too high and leaving our goalies one on one with super sharpshooters. I personally can do much better with the running into space and supporting.

Girls, I think we are better than that. I really admire the fighting spirit, stamina and composure of the senior players. Truth be told, our trainings didn't really tackle the above problems enough. I hope we can focus more on those in the future and hone them, and we will definitely do better than this in our games to come.

p.s. on a sidenote, I watched harry potter after the game and that's probably why I have this imagery : a weak wind is blowing, and a group of owls in a neat formation is flying resolutely against it, strong enough not to be blown off-course. And it's making me laugh, lol.
