Draw...Defeat...Humiliation...The Demise Of The Clan
It was inevitable in the end. The year3s decided not to participate,.and the only year 3s participating were members of the Clan (Archangel 'Gronkjaer',The lord, and me). With just 5 players and no substitutes,...we were severely weakened(none of the year 3 stars were available),..and possibly had the worst squad with no depth whatsoever. We didn't think we would go far,..but we hoped for atleast some decent performances. Ultimately,..even that could be described as over ambitous.
It all started well enough against the year 2 team.. A long ball to Cheeky saw him control, the ball,... turn his marker and unleash a ferocious volley that busted the goal net,leaving the much hyped Mogan'Banks' with not much of a chance. But the year 2 team came back strongly,...and deservedly scored the equaliser in the second half. That seem to dampen the spirit of the Clan. We could count ourselves lucky not to have lost that game, as the year 2 team finished strongly. On hindsight, we should have just gone on the defensive in the second half,...and we could have held on for the victory. After that game, we seemed exhausted and low on confidence.
The next match turned into a nightmare. Everything bad that i imagined could happen,..happened. The match was against a formidable year 4 team(except Ramesh who's year2) We were completely outclassed, out fought,..and constantly pressurised throughout the entire match.By the end of the first half we were already 3 goals down. Our already low confidence was dented immeasurably. Ramesh scored 2 of the 3 goals,..while yours truly scored an own goal...sigh...(misery compounded). The second half saw more goal mouth action(our goal that is)..and it took some great saves from Afzal and luck to prevent the year 4s from adding to their tally. Eventually,...another defensive error resulted in the 4th goal. After that,..we no longer defended! We just went up looking for a consolation. But It never came. Poor teamwork, communication and simple lack of ability saw that we hardly troubled their goalkeeper. We got walloped by a much better team,..but the taste of defeat,..and defeat of such magnitude was hard to swallow,..still is.
We weren't sure after that if we were going to play any more games,...as it depended on other results and other considerations...But the rain came and it made sure we didn't have to worry about that either. The tournament is postponed to Sunday,..but i doubt we will turn up... it would just be a waste of time.
Moral of the story- If you can't form a proper team cause of lack of players , don't send a half fuck team and embarrass yourselves.
