both teams played well. there is no need to find reasons for the loss. accepting the result is what a sportsman or sportswoman would do. it would be an insult to the sportsmanship of both teams to make excuses for the loss of one team and the win of the other. gratz jjc and good efforts hc
The opponent actually hit one of hc’s main players ribcage causing her to have breathing difficulties. One of the reasons for losing
Both teams agreed to have the match at JJC. It was a mutual thing you know? Plus, the bronze medal match wasn’t played at turf city.
what about time scheduling and budget? all the other matches e.g. bronze medal match, were played on the following wednesday at turf city. why were the finals different? seems fishy to me.
The JJC player on Photos 5 7 8 and 9 is Estee Amanda Tan.
still very very surprised why a game is allowed to be played at a competitor’s homeground. shouldn’t the conveners do something about sourcing a venue or postponing the match till a more neutral venue is found?
well, sometimes it’s due to budget and time scheduling constraints. you will have to ask the organizers for more detail.
Awesome job JJC!!
Well done and enjoy the victory
thanks!! 😀 congrats too! For winning the bronze for SA :DD
Wah.. Good job to the JJC touch rug team 😀
