On 3 March 2012 and 4 March 2012, 11 brave souls took part in the Kallang Open fast pitch. Although we got the 6th position out of the 6 competing teams, like Neo said, there are no losers since everyone learnt a lot from the games :)

Since the competition is over, we should pick up from where with left off. Train harder, learn from our mistakes and face many more future games.

Anyhoo, as a spectator and someone watching from the sidelines, here the Kallang Open Wall of Fame, based on what I observed and with help from Catherine, your Vice Captain :)






Wilson
Great job in catching 3 fly balls in one inning :O
Good job in creating noise in the field and keeping the team alive :)
Pitching and lopping of ball also not bad






Francis
Good job and catching two flyballs in one inning :)
Was more confident during the game :)






Neo
Great attempt to be a pitcher - lopping was not bad :)
Good initiative and thanks for gathering the team.
Confident batting.





Xavier
Nice job in scoring the first point for Axis! :)
Good attempt to bunt expecially the last game against SMU...






Jesper
Good eye for the last game against SMU :)
A few good stopping of balls when playing second base.






Shuya
Yay! For batting your first ball.
Good stop of ball in the last game.







Leonard
Good attempt at being right fielder. Need proper boots to be even more power ;)





Shawn
Nice try as right fielder. Hope you gain some experience and play more in future games :) Jiayous jiayous!




Jeremy
Nice catching of pop fly and tagging out runner in one inning :)
Good attempt in speaking up...





Leslie
Good attempts in trying to stop and catch the fast ball at third base :)
Nice catch at last match...





Brandon
Good job in pitching for most of the games :D
Good catch of pop fly too!







Overall, the last game with SMU was not bad and first time all bases loaded. Good job guys! :)




Oh and congratulations to Brandon and Wilson for getting the Most Improved Player and Most Valuable Player respectively :)





HOWEVER, dear all, please don't not be too relieved/happy because there are still many many things that can be improved and your captain and vice-captain will enlighten you guys during trainings. Please pay attention during trainings then. I'll find a way to upload the videos that I took and hopefully you guys can see how you played and improve on it.

In addition, I feel that when Catherine shout during the games, please do not like blame her or say she naggy/noisy because she really wants you guys to play better. I know I'm no position to judge since I'm not the one in the hot sun playing but I just feel that you guys should not like scold Catherine for nagging yea?
If no one points out our mistakes, then we can't improve. In future, we all should take into account what Catherine (or anyone) says with a pinch of salt and just try to improve ourselves. This is just my two cents worth. No hard feelings, k so don't throw softballs at me during trainings :/

Lastly, a reminder, Kallang slow pitch is in like 2 weeks time. Hope we will play a better game then. Fast pitch was okay but let's work harder for the next game. I'll work harder during trainings and everyone work hard together too! Softball is a team game and we can't do without anyone of you k! See you all tomorrow for the next training! Go Axis!!! \(^.^)/



Cheers,
Jasmine
