Today marks the end of POL-ITE 2011. This year may not be our year but I hope you don't give up yet. Losing is unfortunately the part and parcel of a competition. Having said that, I'm sure we've all gained something else in return. We've gained experience, learnt a few new skills, forged friendships with our teammates and whatever mistakes that we made, let's learn from it. Dwelling on the past doesn't help so let's move on and prepare for a better season next year shall we?

I've said this to the girls and I'm going to say it again for the boys. Remember that whatever happens on the pitch, stays on the pitch. If anyone is upset that someone has been screaming like a mad person at him/her, please, let it go. Bearing grudges will not get our team anywhere. Besides, the screaming are all in that moment of time only. And remember that your team is only as strong as your weakest player. So if you know that you're lacking in any area, be it fitness or skills, do train up. Hockey is a team sport, we need everyone to play an equal role in the game, put in equal amount of effort, equal amount of commitment and focus.

Speaking of which, training will still be on next week. Same time, same place. Wednesday 530pm, Saturday 10am. We're not going to take a break so please be there at Kismis.

On behalf of all the graduating seniors, thank you for the cake and the farewell-ish thing that you guys organized. We will miss you guys!!! But, this is not the end. We will be having our Annual General Meeting (AGM), where the senior committee members will step down and we will introduce the new committee, in December. ALL ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND.

Whatever else that we need to say will be said during AGM so for now, rest well and keep the Ngee Ann fighting spirit strong!

Love

Ikmaliah
