end of season review

had a busy week. stayed in for the entire week since sunday night and only booked out on thurs night. took a lwe only to spend it watching u-14s @ rjc. like wat the dictators said, it was the blood spilled by the seniors that paved the way for a path of lesser resistance for this u-14 team. from facing yishun town, chij tp and acsi in the premilinary and clinching all three, to winning nanhua and chij tp (albeit scrappily) in the quarters and semis respectively, the young dictators couldn't have had it easier. in the final reckoning in the grand final, the greeness and the fallability of the young dictators were exposed to a sublimely talented acsi team in a 7-2 defeat on the motion THBT to prevent wars, countries must prepare for wars, with chs opposing. i must say, it was probably one of the most lucky campaigns we ever had and certainly the least heartbreaking amongst all defeats at grand finals. with joel, bryan, andre and ze yi, the future looks promising for the dictators. it is now then a matter of translating their raw talents into championship winning materials, a lesson painfully learnt from this yr's team 1. so what can i say? without anymore tournaments coming up, there seem to be a sense of void and malfulfillment too. the disappointment of missing out on JG title for yet another year. but with 2 championships, a final spot, a semi-final exit and a hugely disappointing quarterfinal exit, this is indeed a golden harvest for CHS, and the first in many more to come! and in the light of how our perennial underdogs finally overcame us this time round after several consecutive defeats, to sum up the future of the dictators - the best is yet to be.
