winning his first tournament

SRK St Agnes entered their first tournament this year and against all odds came out champion.
Kejohanan Bolasepak Bawah 12 tahun MSSD Zon Likas telah berlangsung pada 5-6 Februari di Padang SRK Lok Yuk.

They trained intensively for 4 weeks at school and I think last week match against TABS (which they fared horribly) was the only friendly away game they could squeeze in before the tournament start.  Don't ask me what TABS stand for. Sampai sekarang aku inda tau. Tg Aru Boys kali..

Tapi faced with other schools yang sama amateur macam dorang, it's a more balanced match and real competition. The first day, they played 4 matches, dari 9.00 pagi sampai 4.30 petang in which they managed 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 lost and proceeded to semi final. Sehari di padang, balik punya hitam. Hangus bah, nampak mata saja.

Second day, semi final against SK Likas A. (Ada SK Likas A dan SK Likas B). This one was a shocker. SK Likas A expected to win and they were the reigning champion for many years. Cara main pun nampak pro, tapi nasib tak menyebelahi. Selepas seri tanpa gol, dorang kalah dalam penalty kick.

So tanpa disangka-sangka St Agnes mara ke final melawan SRK Lok Yuk.
DAN...walaupun seluruh sekolah Lok Yuk berhenti belajar dan bersorak untuk home team tetapi tetap Lok Yuk gagal menjaringkan gol walaupun beberapa cubaan baik, sebaliknya midfielder St Agnes berhasil menjaringkan gol. Itu pun tanpa sengaja, sebenarnya dia mau pass, tapi terus masuk gol. Boleh?

Memang nasib sangat berpihak pada dorang di samping dorang main pun not bad juga.
Tahniah, tahniah, tahniah to the team and my son Helmi who helped making SRK ST AGNES juara.
