So the sun was rly BLAZING HOT and you could even see the heatwaves on the fAke grass patch but this didn't deter our girls from being ready to defeat RH, who I heard was tryna make their debut as a sports hall.... hmmmm. Anyways the girls really gave everyone out there such an exciting game that it actually kind of made my weird tan lines worth it.
To give all of you an idea of how exciting this match was, within the first 2 minutes of the game, Natalie had already scored 2 tries for us. Everyone in the socially-distanced crowd was in awe and had started simping for her already bc of her mad skills. I bet they were even wondering if RH even stood a chance against us today (ofc not). Other multi talented sports pros such as Elis, Stacia and Phoebe caught my eye bc their drives and dives and tries today were rly *chefs kiss* IMMACULATE.
Badminton legend Elis proves she's good with all sorts of other balls, including rugby ones ;)
Of course, not to forget the other amazing teammates. This includes Tanita who constantly had her eyes on the game, instead of resting, when her line wasn’t playing. Hearing her shout “THE RIGHT SIDE IS OPEN” 463894 times made me almost mistake her for the coach. But her breaths were not wasted as her teammates listened to coach #2 and scored a quickneasy try. If FASS doesn’t work out, coaching is always there for u~~ (pls dont flame me I have the same major as Tanita..)
Hui Lin attempts to shake her opponent's composure and (grip on the ball!) in order to steal
Sadly there were also so many sikes in this game. I cannot even count the number of times I sent “ITS A TRY/SCORE” into the telegram channel only to realise 10 seconds later that it wasn't counted bc of a touch/offside/offence committed/idk what other reason (heart been broke so many times…….) anyway here's a shameless plug for everyone to subscribe to all the ihg channels thank u.
Anne manages to sneak past her defender and hopefully scores a goal!
During an ~exclusive interview~ with our freshie series star, Theng Xuan, she commended the team for playing very well today but also commented on how “defense needs to work harder”. I guess there’s nothing else for you to do but to keep your eyes on her during the finals to make sure she doesn’t eat her words too! (eh jusss)
To end off with a quote our #1 commentator of the day (ofc Ikhsan la who else???), “actually really props to RH ah for trying to chase after our drives bc if I were down by more than 10 points towards the end of the game I wouldn't even bother running for it”. Ikhsan’s BMs and commentary throughout the hour definitely made the game a lot more interesting. But as he said, gotta thank RH for not giving up and for giving our girls a good fight too! And good job to our girls for the bigbigbig W!! ...even though this win might come at the expense of some RH player’s shoulder being dislocated…….but its okay!
CONGRATS GIRLS!!! AND dont forget to support them during their finals against KR too! (better watch the ig live and listen to the commentaries. many thank.)
(Shoutout to Ethan for being our tripod stand for the iglive when it suddenly spoiled towards the end of the game. To quote Ikhsan again, thank you for gymming for Eusoff.)
