Of Spunk, Spirit and Steely Will

To all the guys who battled it out on the field today....

You guys showed some splendid spunk, irrespressible spirit and some steely determination. In my opinion, you were a brilliant team, considering the fact that there never was an eleven-man practise session at all. None of you were familiar with the ways of each of your team-mates.You played a more experienced team, lost, and still, when the odd assortment that was [our] team, walked back to the 'pavillion', i couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and a strange sense of satisfaction that i was from the FYBMM class.
Whether it came to cheering, moaning, groaning or sledging unanimously, i enjoyed every moment of the match. You guys gave it your best, and if i was the opposition, i'd be honoured to play against you bunch. We didnt let them win easy, we played as a team, we put up a fight. And that is what really matters.

You may have lost the match, but you're still in the game, because you guys showed some real spirit today. And you're all winners in my book.

I'm already looking forward to next year.
