Its been a long time since i've updated this space, mainly due to:
1. work
2. fatigue
3. medicine
4. laziness
Last sunday was the YLN soccer tournament co-organised by Al-Istirgfar and Darul Gurfran Mosque. They had a World Cup format, with 32 teams playing in the group stages, with 16 teams from the group stages advancing from the group stages.
There were 2 teams that were sent out by the Darul Makmur Mosque to the tournament. (equally strong technically, mind you. =)) I played for the Darul Makmur Team A.
To cut things short, team B advanced till the Quarter finals, only to lose out to a disastrous penalty shoot-out. (They could have gone further if the ref had allowed us to change the keeper! =()
Team A advanced to the final, but only to have half of its squad of ten to be either injured or having cramps. *sigh*
I limped off just a few minutes after starting for the Semiifinal & Final match due to severe cramps on my lower thighs. I couldn't even keep up with the oppenents right winger ah! *ooh, forgot to tell, i was playing on the left wing, cos i left footed mah...*
It was dissapointing as we could have won the tournament. Hafiz (striker. No 25) and Ashraf (Keeper. ? forgot ah: he saved 6 penalty takes en route to the final ah!) cried. Emotional and a bit of a dore situation the whole thing was. *err.. i think th elast sentence sounds a little bit like yoda talking.*
All in all, thats part of the tournament, you win some, yuo lose some. I'll show you guys the picture of the medal later k?
but for now, here are some pictures from the tournament! Enjoy!
