Today was the inter-school table tennis competition.
12 C-Division school team boys including me and 12 B-Division school team boys went to loyang secondary school for the competition. Since we were there quite early, the teacher-in-charge allowed us to practise for a while to warm up. We stroked and tried to improve on our weaknesses. At the same time, our caoch was also giving us some advice on how to win the match. My weakness was my forehand, the coach advised me to use my backhand more often to make up for my weak forehand. We played against Ngee Ann Secondary School. our china school team players easily defeated the first player, 11-4, 11-3, 11-2. Our next match was doubles. Alexander and Damian fought against two ngee ann players. It was also an easy match as our school coach obviously trained us harder. The B-Division boys were doing great too as they won every match. However, we got anxious as Tuck yern and Ming Jing, a secondary one student played. Since it was their first time playing, they were not very familiar with their hand signs. In the end, the ngee ann players won the first set. The school coach gave them advice on winning during the match. tuck yern and ming Jing paid close attention to the commands and soon easily defeated the ngee ann players.
Our last player was Raymus, he is one of the top ten in the nationals. Raymus thrashed the ngee ann players, 11-2,11-2,11-2. The whole competition was soon over when all matches were played. The final result was that Victoria won all the matches. we were over the moon but our coach warned us against being too delightful. Defeated rivals could soon get back on their feet and win us in the next match.
Thus, we decided that we would train harder and win gold for the school!
