Our Team K15 won the Fairplay Award at the recent MUPC 2011. Although we started off strongly in the group stages, we lost in the quarter-final against SMK Gedong. It was a heart-breaking loss to all our coaches because we did not play to our potential like we did in the preliminary rounds where we beat SMK Batu Lintang and Saberkas Kudei by 3-0 margins and in Round 2 where we defeated SMK Lake (from Bau) by penalty kicks.
All of us were, and still are, dumbfounded as to what went wrong (look at the coaches' faces in the photo!!) . To be honest, we were all so confident that we would reach final. Players were not playing to instructions, players were ball-watching, players were not communicating, players were not confident on the ball, there were no crosses into the box, there were no shots on goal, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.. It was a game we lost and not a game that SMK Gedong won. We handed it to them on a silver platter.
What good is it if we were only primed to win Fairplay awards, right??
