Last Saturday, the 1st game of MRU Cup between Negeri Sembilan and Police played at Padang Kolej Tuanku Jaafar, Mantin, Negeri Sembilan. It was a bright day as all the players arrived early to warm up and have some team talk before the game. I'm confident that the team can perform well today although most of the senior and key players absent. Started with warm - up (All Blacks style) hehe,lead by Bro Mizi. Team started to focus for the game,all the players received the instructions and set play from the coach.
As the game started, I played as a centre and lead the backline as well. In the 1st half,one quick penalty tap gave NS a try by Zack and conversion by Koi. We played well and managed to scrape through with 1 converted try and 1 penalty in the 1st half. Everything going as planned, all players played like there are no tomorrow. In the 2nd half, NS managed to control the possession and played inside opponent territory and got 1 penalty to lead 13-3 at one time. But, Police managed to get 1 converted try and they are coming closer 10-13. Until the dying minutes,luck is not with us and Police managed to get 1 penalty to level the score 13-13. I feel sorry for the team,although we controlled the possesion but the discipline on the last minute of the whistle cost us the defeat. It is not the end of the world, this is only the beginning for the team. There are many matches to go and hopefully they can recovered well from the defeat to come back strong next week against Armed Forces.. May Allah be with us all.. Amin..
