as i rot in my room nursing aching muscles which threaten to never get well, as well as a twisted-on-top-of-a-bad-bruise right ankle, i breathe a sigh of relief that it is over. ok so we did not meet our target of 2nd; 2 slips of confidence proved to be costly, and caused us to get 3rd instead. but this year, i'm so damn proud to say that we did it without imports, without 'branded' players, especially amongst the freshies. if either way we were going to end up third, i'm glad we did it all by ourselves. and the UNDERwhelming number of supporters who actually cared enough to come down to watch us play only made me appreciate those who actually cared enough to come down even more.

and there goes my final ihg; 4 years of sweating it out on the field for KR, and i daresay this year feels the most rewarding of them all. i suppose if all i wanted was a gold medal for ihg touch, it would have been wiser for me to don a yellow jersey instead of dark blue. and yes, it felt so fucked up to be marked down so tightly. 'number 7, number 7' eh hello go buy 4D la keep repeating my number for what.

but why did i push kailing during one of the matches, just as she was about to receive the ball? was i trying to reach for the ball? or was i too tired to stop myself from running into her? miffed.

there are so many more levels to compete at; ivp, club, even nationals. but how high am i willing to go, and how high am i capable of going?

but anyway.. ihg touch was made easier by those of you who helped in one way or other.

thank you to so many people for yesterday.
