Today was by far the proudest day of my life.. Underdogs, everybody wrote us off even before the tournament began, and yet, we defied all odds to emerge as SUNIG champions. I guess we did it the hard way, coming back from 1 goal down to beat SMU 2-1. Goals came from Melvin and Vann. Man of the match had to go to Melvin. He missed a sitter in the first half. But minutes later, he did extremely well to volley home the equaliser for us which he did with ease. I guess we really wanted it more than SMU as they had nothing to fight for. 1-1 was not enough to secure us as champions and we had to go for the killer goal which Vann got us. Cool and composed as u like. Then the moment came. Final whistle was blown and the celebrations begun. For a moment i felt stunned. I couldnt believe that we won. Man for man NTU, NUS, SMU may have better players than us. But as a team, we were unbeatable in SUNIG. Tested and proven. Although my aim of not conceding a goal in SUNIG did not come true, it didnt matter after all. We had the meanest defence in the tournament. Just conceding 1 goal in 3 games. A record to be proud of. Thanks to everyone who came down to watch the game and supported us throughout this tournament...Gary, caroline and all.
Last but not least. Thanks to all who made me feel at home with you guys so quickly. I'm glad i was able to play a part in this historic win. Lets strive for IVP together :)
