AKUDO on excursion tour competion. Well, AKUDO had shown the multi-talent nature be it in basketball or other sports. In Captain's Ball, we had shown once again that we can make it in all games!
No doubt everyone thought that Captain's Ball is a boring game, no bouncing allow, no 2 steps and no physical contact. AKUDO member's Alvin, Kenny, Yong Xiang, Wei Jie, Terence Tan and Davis had joined in the competion to bring honour back for AKUDO, who combine with girls to form Darn Fast Darn Furious!
First match was indeed a simple one but there was too much individualistic roll by several players and the problem of linking up with the girls in our team certainly made the game tough. But we manage to scrape through with a 11-3 victory.
Second match was a tough one against Victoria JC. Well, we still emerge victorious after several tight marking only for the opponent to lose concentration in the last min for us to bounce back to victory! 10-8 final score!
Third match erupted with violence as AKUDO's player couldn't stand the play acting of an opponent that fed up the whole team. Referee was bias towards opponent team, "Underwhere?" as all are christian while we are outsider. Referee had no control of the game and allow "Underwhere?" to take control of the situation and awarded their team 2 points for a mistake by Alvin who appears to be fighting for the 50-50 ball in the air. Bad mistake by the Referee and we ended up in a draw. 10-10.
4th Match was a much simple game with both team seems relax and friendly. Of course we won the game with the score 17-6. Nothing to be boastful about as the opponent's is too young for us.
5th Match was a fair fight between both team with the score tied at 15-15. Darn Fast Darn Furious was trailing badly before AKUDO's players heat up and played fantastic one-two and score point in a tremendous rate. Their defending was also in tip-top condition with Kenny outstanding in Blocks while Alvin jumper and steadiness that got us the point. The rest also did well in link-up play and scoring. The girls had been neglected for this match as we can't afford to lose points. So the tactic was change for guys to score as much points as possible, bypassing the girls, though girl per score is 2 points.
6th Match (Quarter-Final)was relatively easy but AKUDO's was still trailing due to unconcentrated play and fanciful game. But soon, we were back to our best. One-two between AKUDO players and win back the game. 12-8! The girls was involved in a bit of the action. But out fast plays was too fast for the ladies to catch up with.
7th Match (Semi-Final) was against Underwhere? again. This time we had our strategic discuss and we need the girls to help out in defend as we were always outnumber in defences as they never back track to help out. The guys were also made to marked out the girls from opposite team as they are their main threat. Thus AKUDO had shed off their girls image and did a superb man-marking. Most of the scoring and link-up play was by the guys. First half ended 3-0. Tight game. 2nd half started and AKUDO had lost concentration and was allow to chase back to 6-6 before we score a last 15 second winner to make it 7-6 only for them to score back while we celebrating. Unsportsmanship. Final Score 7-7
1.5min extra time was held. Underwhere? manage to score almost immediately after restart and Darn Fast Darn Furious was made to chase back for most of the period till 20sec left. The opponent had purposely throw the ball out of their backline as the ball would be back for them and the Referee had awarded us the possession for unsportsmanship play. Davis manage to make the ball count before bow out with cramps on both legs. Game tied at 8-8.
Golden goal was played with fast and furious pace. Darn Fast Darn Furious was simply awesome and attack from the start and Underwhere? was force to back track all the time. But in the end. We manage to score the winning shot with Kenny finishing the game. 9-8! Darn Fast Darn Furious held their head high with a graceful Victory! Several players was awed by our superb play and the Referee was impress by our teamwork. This victory was dedicate to the whole team! The girls did well in their parts to defend too.
Final against Sure Win. It will be postponed as the weather is too dark. AKUDO's player was shack out. So does the girls.
Darn Fast Darn Furious did it with pride! Next match. Final! We will emerge as Victorious!
With Pride, We Play
