RI out of B Div Tournament

We apologize to all readers for the late reply, but we were not in the mood to write following our elimination from our tournament then. Here is what happened-

After losing to Gan Eng Seng in the first second round match, we followed that up with a win and then faced a well coached Outram Park, whom we had to win against. However, a key player was injured the day before the match, and it showed as we had a lack of scoring options since we were not hitting our shots that day. Howver, the game was not lost on offence, but rather on defence.

Ultimately, it was a lack of good defence, not just in this game, but in the whole tournament that led to this painful and early exit. We lacked the fundamentals of in your face defence and husetle and effort, things which could have brought us far even without great offensive talent. Focus was also not completely there and we could tell that the team was not as united in our focus as two years ago when we reached the National Final.

For the Sec Fours, this has been our last chance at representing RI, and it is something that we will cherish for a long time. There are things beyond just winning and losing, the friendships that we have forged as a team will certainly last longer than any medal that we could possibly get.
