Breakthrough...

The first rugby match was against Nadzaruddin. We expected a tough challenge and true enough, it was a tough game. The first half was terrible. We only scored one try. We failed to convert and our mental strength was deteriorating.
It was pretty much obvious that we were the better team. We played the whole game virtually on their half but we failed miserably to finish them. We wanted to make it fast and painless but they just kept us from the touch line. As our will to win slowly faded, we seriously needed something to liven up our spirits. We needed a breakthrough.
Then it all happened. The Fly half passed the ball to the center. The center kicked the ball, then chased it like a panther. The ball reached the opponents, but they failed to catch it. The ball bounced right into the path of the center and the center catched it and sped of with the ball. It was the second try of the game for Nadzimuddin. Our spirits were lifted.
After the second try, the other tries came tumbling in. In the end we won; the score 20-0 (4 tries, no conversions). All in all, it was a wonderful match. We did what we had to, and we won. But most importantly of all, we had a breakthrough. And we really should give a pat on the back to the center who made it all happen. His name is Peter.. =P

A pat on the back for you then, panther! Congrats! Btw, are you badly bruised or sumthing?
