Intercollege Squash UPM Competition(2-6 March)

Recently the Intercollege Squash UPM just ended yesterday which started from 2nd March til 6th March...(Photos still not available yet... LOLX)

Yet...

My college (K10 aka Kolej Kesepuluh) still become the bride-maid once again in the final. We lost to KOSASS(Kolej SULTAN ALAEDDIN SULEIMAN SHAH) for second consercutive times... Aiks... In straight sets 3-0...

T___T...

Last year also the same thing happened to K10 but this year we gave all our best to challenge them and made their win a tougher one...

Nvm then because KOSASS has quite number of MASUM players(who represent UPM) and mostly they are seasoned squash players... Moreover, they are the PASUKAN LATIHAN PEGAWAI SIMPANAN(PALAPES) members who always have physical training every weekends...

On the other hand.....

K10 erm..... Most of the players still have sufficient skills to beat other colleges to enter the final but can't match the KOSASS players... But it was quite good experience for me as I can play with some good players in UPM... Hehe... A plus for me (I was placed as the 1st single throughout the competition)...

Ok... Let begin with the 1st day of the competition...

Grouping table

(2 March)--->>>K10 vs KMR: 5-0

As expected, we managed to hammered KMR with all K10 players won in straight in respective matches... But I struggled bit to beat the KMR's player as I was not used to the court condition(Court 2 where that court has a hole on the wall... WTH??!!)

(3 March)--->>> Rest day for K10 players.....

(4 March)--->>>K10 vs K15: 4-1

I did not play on that day as I was rested by the team leader to prepare for the quarter-final match... K10 emerged as Group B winner and meet K14 in quarter-final matchup...

Quarter-final fixtures

(5 March)Quarter-finals--->>>K10 vs K14: 4-1, KOSASS vs K17: 5-0

Our match with K14 wass struggling as our 2nd and 3rd single players have difficulty to beat respective opponents... Yet, we managed to win the match with 3rd player finally found back his rhythm to beat his opponent although our 2nd player beaten due to tension surrounding him... As usual, KOSASS had no problem to proceed to the semi-final...

Semi-finals & Final fixtures

(6 March)The semi-finals & finals were played on the same day...

Semi-Finals--->>> K10 vs K12: 4-1, KOSASS vs K15: 5-0
In the semi-finals, K10 had the upper hand against K12 although our 2nd player yet fallen into the tension trap... While KOSASS just had a touch-and-go against K15 though they played with weaker fields(WTH??!!)...

Final--->>> K10 vs KOSASS: 0-3

Once again... Aiks... With KOSASS fielding their strongest players, they flawlessly beat us with no mercy... Straight sets... LOLX!!!

Throughout this competition, I have gain quite valuable experiences and the most important thng is, TEAMWORK plays a big role here with helping each other with moral supports and tips on how to overcome the opponents... PLUS, I was selected to join the MASUM UPM...Yea!!!

Next weekend I will have tournament in UiTM(13-15 March)... Hope that tournament also let me gain more and more experiences in squash!!!
