Open Volleyball Tournament.

Went back to my primary school (Sri Kuala Lumpur) last saturday for a volleyball tournament. No, I did not attend as a player but Assistant Coach..hehe. Its been 8 years.. I never come back and visit my primary school ever since I finish my primary school life in year 2000. Nothing much changed except for the bloody expensive school fees i guess. The fees was Rm7k per year when i left.

The tournament starts at 9am with total of 8 teams.

Playing against Inti team (the so called best team in our group with a state player) was terrifying enough to the kids in my team. So, my coach decided to join in and play as setter. Its an Open Tournament after all.

The end result against Team Inti? We trashed them 25-18, 25- 13 straight sets and won all the applause from the audiences.


We easily won all the group matches and secured a place in semi-final. A step nearer to win the tournament.



My coach left the place before the semi-final for a meeting. So, me as the assistant coach need to organise the team and make sure we win the game to enter the Final.

We played the semi final and final in the hall with aircond as other teams complained about the hot weather outside. Semi Final's score? we won 10-25, 11-25 straight sets again in less than 1 hour. Its only 3pm and we need to wait until 6.30pm for the final to begin.

We heard that we're playing against the Sri KL school team in final which beat Sri Kembangan school team few months back. For your information, Seri Kembangan is the best in PJ district and their only sports in Volleyball. =/

Our coach manage to return before 6.30pm and play the final with us. Sri KL team decided to put their coach to play as well. I did not take any pictures during the final because I was too focused on the game. It was a tough match and we lost the 1st set 25-23. It was our first lost on that day.

Guy in middle- Our coach was scolding the players and unhappy with the result after losing the 1st set.

We won back the second set 18-25 prolong the game to a rubber set. We need to play smart and use every chance to get points to win it. It was very difficult for our players to play the game because most of them is only 16 years old and very unexperienced in tournament. Both team's score is so close. 4-4... 6-8....10-9..

In the end, both team's score reached 14-14 and deuced. We have the advantage to serve and at last, we won the tournament with final score 25-23, 18-25 and 14-16.

We won it!! Hehehe...

I went home for a bath and watch the big English Premier League game.. Chelsea Vs Manchester United but the devils was under performing and lost 2-1.. KNS. =/
