Hall 2 Water Polo Heads to Semis by Chua Yuan Pin

This evening, Hall 2 witnessed a total annihilation of past years champion team. Our water polo boys defeated Hall 3 with a score-line of 11-0.

A full squad of Toh Zhi Hong(Magic-Fingers), Ng Ray Lim(Grand-Master-Ray), Daryl Lim (Smeagol), Chia Wang Peng (King-Wanky), Alvin Kuek (Mr. 300), Mark Lim (Markie), Jonathan Ong (6-Pec-Beast), Tong Xu Le(Shyle), Eugene Tang(Swims-Too-Fast), Kor Kiat Yao(Guai-Lan-Kia), Chua Hong Qian (Biceps-too-big), Chua Yuan Pin(Too-Much-Cock), Alvin Teo(Bible-Black), was on hand to control and overpower the reigning champions. The game started of strongly, with our own Magic-Fingers conjuring a goal out of nowhere.

Our players continually pressured the opponents, never allowing them to attempt a shot on goal. From then on, the reigning champions never stood a chance. By the first half, we were up a comfortable 6 goals, thanks to Zhi Hong(3), Daryl(1), Ray(1), YP(1). Each goal was well taken, leaving their keeper helpless.

In the second half, our opponents began to tire, and stood by the shallow end of the pool catching their breath. A goal scoring spree by 5 different players, Daryl(1), Jon Ong(1), Ray(1), HQ(1), and Wei Da(1), allowed the polo boys to practice their tactical movement in the final minutes.

Special commendations to the following players:
In the first half, Mark had to battle a 120kg opponent in the centre position, and his scrawny legs did not fail him.

Our 6-Pec-Beast substituted Mark in the second half and the opposition came back with a vengeance. Jon’s back was littered with scratches and his elbows had deep cuts. Despite all the rough play, 6-Pec-Beast held his ground and was a constant menace to the opponent’s defence.

Hall 2’s King Wanky was on hand to terrorize the defence. By continually swimming round their players, just like a great white shark, their defence was confused and allowed other players to have ample time to take their shots.

 Japanese Super Star Kenryu was not in the squad list but his instructions from above the water were calming to all our players. His directions allowed the team to move from point to point confidently and when instructions were given to take a shot, no one would hestitate.

Despite a score-line of 11-0, Grand Master Ray felt that more mistakes could have been cut down and more goals scored. All of us in Hall 2 pray that one day this man’s insatiable appetite for the perfect game will be sated.

Congratulations to our Hall 2 Water Polo Boys for making it to the semi-finals! Stay tuned for the polo semis feature!
