Team event NOVICES 2007
Happy---> got 2 trophy back home.Sad---> should have gotten Gold or Silver for team event.
Last Saturday was the team event for Men's epee. 20 0ver teams took part. I was with three juniors in a team. Mr Su sent 2 teams ; ITB team A and team B. Jeremy, Jie Hong, Ignatius and me in team A.
2 years ago, I was usually with 2 senior in my team. They were leading the team and guide me through the match. But now, I'm leading 2 teams to competition and they are first time fencing in the team event. I've to do Briefing and leading for this 2 team. Bringing the team morale high isn't that easy to do.
First round,
ITB Team B knock out by SJI team A, Loss by 2 points. I was to be blamed for putting the wrong Angle man position. However My team Met NTU (Nanyang Technological University) team B. The match was alrite for us. Eventually, We beat them. score: 45-33.
Second round,
Our opponent is SMU team B (Singapore Management University). I hated that angle man, shit! Sickening gay, even his fencing standing position so gay. Even worst, he always does the dancing pose, making me piss off! No worries, we win them, quite a easy for us. Score: 45-23.
Third round (semi-final)
We are against the team from Fencing masters. The Gold medalist is in that team. A tough between us. We were 2 points behind them. Later, Somehow i met a man, I don't why he just won't attack me. Hence, I manage to get the point hit 7. He gets Zero.
Yes! my team was leading the point due to my fight just now. Last fight,
i met the gold Medalist. SHUAN PUAL--> Coach's son. Damm, superb tough with him. Fencing half-way through, He fleeche pass me and I counter attacked, he falls and bang against me. Worst still, its on my head. I lye on the floor for few seonds, because I was black-out. I loss my focus and can't react fast. Hence, I loss the match by 1 point. Score: 45-44.
Fourth round (Third and fourth placing)
Again, our opponent is NTU(Nanyang technological university) Team A! The morale of my team getting lower due to the match just now. I've been cheering and boosting them to stay strong. To Be honest, I've loss all my energy in this match because of the hard bangs from the previous match. Lucky, my juniors did really well in this match. We won by 1 point. Score:: 42-41
Got 3rd in this event. I'm felt sorry for my juniors and School. I failed to lead the team to the final. Maybe this is the best i can do for them.
The match that we met, all the opponent are from University, so weird. This proved that ITE student can beat Uni student. DONT LOOK DOWN ON ITE STUDENTS. This is the last time i can fence in this competition, at least i manage to got 2 trophy back. YES! For the up-coming competition, all are national level. Need fight strong to get the Top few rank in singapore.
Thou shall not scare the Blade but to win the fear in me!
