National Quarter-Finals (Juniors) Game 1

TKP vs Marymount Convent

37-9

It was day one of the National Quarter-Finals for TKP Juniors. Confident of beating Marymount Convent, they 'marched' into Kallang netball court 3. They were serious in putting 110% of their effort into the game.

However the determination of really trashing Marymount was gone as the match started with a slothful beginning (probably due to the foggy, lazy morning). Sure, TKP Juniors were leading by three at first but there were many careless mistakes made by them which could have got them a few more goals. The score of the first quarter (7-4 which was much lesser than their usual score) shook the Juniors out of their haziness and to realise that that quarter was bad.

This time, the rythm which was gone at the beginning of the match came back and stayed there. They were fighting for the ball like they were fighting for their lives! They tried to catch every ball lobbed by their opponent. They leaped so high like they could reach the sky just to intercept the ball. No doubt, it was a great improvement from the first quarter. The match then was slowed down after the second quarter. But TKP Juniors tried not to be affected and kept on pitter-pattering to keep focussed even if the ball was not on their side. Putting in all their energy they had left, the Juniors made a great ending to the match.

Every time the shooters endeavoured a shot, a ray of light seemed to be beaming onto them and the ball would find a way into and through the hoop. When they had the possesion of the ball, the mid-fielders passed so swiftly around that Marymount did not even have a chance to intercept. Guarding Marymount's 'D' ferociously like dogs, it was almost impossible for Marymount to attack. The match ended nicely, with a score of 37-9. TKP Juniors were VICTORIOUS!
