The match started just after the rain. The GA from TKPS scored the first goal easily, followed by the GS. TKPS also managed to intercept some of the opponents’ passes and they lead throughout the first quarter. The second quarter began with a good obstruction from the GA of TKPS. However, TKPS scored less goals in the second quarter, but still managed to maintain their lead. They started having problems in scoring some crucial goals. Thus, TKPS lost the third quarter to OLGC.

The last quarter was not a good one either. The girls of TKPS had a really bad game due to their lack of preparation and cooperation with their coach. It was a good lesson for the girls and I hope that they will learn from it and put in their hundred and ten percent effort in the matches they are going to play. Our greatest  glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time after we fall.
