We gathered at e@Curve, leaving our bags at the stairs which leads to the escalator. Then we will move till at the back of the escalators to start warming up. As usual, we have been watching Hyenas played before as Hyenas team and Ronins are best friends. Anyway, Ronins kept the "alive" spirits, every player shown their very best dodging and throwing.
Before the match started, KDU dancing club performed a short dance..... Here is the video for readers to watch.....
After the performance by the KDU's dance society, the time had arrived !!! both teams (the Ronins & the Hyenas) entered the dodgeball court at 9:30pm sharp. The match started with the cheer among both teams.
' Let's go, Hyenas, let's go !!! '
' Let's go, Ronins !!! '
Wonder which team will be the first winner of the first match !!!
The first game started off pretty good. The Ronins started the first attack, back to the Hyenas to attack without any hesitation. In about 34 seconds, one Hyenas was out when Faiz managed to catch the ball. Unfortunately, Faiz then was the first one being dodged out by one of the Hyenas at 2 minutes 28 seconds.
5 Ronins facing 5 Hyenas.
At 3 minutes 34 seconds, the ball which dodged Ganesh by the Hyenas came to a short dicussions among the marshalls. In the end, Ganesh was stated to be out because a ball brushed him. Leaving 4 Ronins struggling against 5 Hyenas. Then continued with the throws by Benjamin and Ekhwan but missed. Nicholas threw a ball to a Hyenas, at last leaving 4 Ronins struggling against 4 Hyenas.
Then, Nicholas was being marked by the Hyenas. 3 straight throws on Nicholas by the Hyenas, and Nicholas was marked out because a ball dodged his leg. In return, Ekhwan did 2 straight throws over to the Hyenas but missed. after Benjamin and Ekhwan was being dodged out by the Hyenas, left Kathryna surviving in the court facing 2 Hyenas. In the end, times up !!!
Score : 1 - 0
The second match was better !!! Benjamin was the first to be dodged out. Leaving 5 Ronins facing the Hyenas. One of the Hyenas was out when Nicholas caught the ball. At 1 minute 38 seconds, Nicholas was being dodged out by a Hyenas. Leaving 4 Ronins facing 4 Hyenas. At 2 minutes 59 seconds, Eric managed to catch a ball, then came Benjamin back into the court again. The game then prolongs till about 4 minutes 13 seconds. Mervin, our spokeperson trying to chill the players down.
Mervin shouted : 'Slow the game down..... Slow the game down..... I said, slow the game down !!! '
In the end, Ronins won with the majority numbers of players.
Score : 1 - 1
In the third match, Sharol made the first throw for Ronins but it missed. One of the Hyenas threw a ball over but it was a bounced ball. Then, Ip knocked out an opponent. At 1 minute 59 seconds, Ekhwan unfortunately was being marked to be out when the opponent's ball which actually knocked the ball which Ekhwan was holding in his hands. Leaving 5 Ronins facing 5 Hyenas. At 2 minutes 55 seconds, Nicholas knocked out a Hyenas. On the other side, Ip was being dodged out when he was trying to take a ball. The ball went through between his legs. After another discussion among the marshalls at 4 minutes 23 seconds, Sharol then was being marked to be out. Leaving 3 Ronins facing 5 Hyenas.
4 balls were at our side, but Faiz passed one of it over to the Hyenas. Nicholas was being knocked out at 6 minutes 12 seconds when two Hyenas counter-attacked him. At 6 minutes 39 seconds, one supporter of Hyenas shouted
' Don't kill the girl, leave the girl for the last. '
It was the very particular time that each side ended up with two equal players. At 7 minutes 50 seconds, the back line string came off from the court. It kinda took the marshalls a few minutes to fix it. Unfortunately, the game ended and came with a death match.
1, 2, dodgeball !!!
Here comes the death match of 2 players of the Ronins and the Hyenas. Faiz released one ball from his hands over to the opponent, and he managed to dodged away 12 balls which came from the Hyenas. When the opponent side came to cool down, Faiz kinda threw a few throws over but it missed. The whole death match ended in 2 minutes 11 seconds.
Score : 2 - 1
The Ronins were kinda nervous in the 4th game, we just thought that we cannot afford to loose. The game started, but the Hyenas side was kinda late to run for the ball. There goes the start of the 4th game again after putting down and taking up the balls again. The Hyenas then did their first throw, and then continued with the balls were like the flies fluttering among both sides.
In this 4th game, the movement was kinda fast. Michelle was the first one being dodged out at 1 minute 57 seconds. At 2 minutes 22 seconds, Ekhwan was being dodged out. Leaving 4 Ronins facing 6 Hyenas. A Hyenas then dodged Ip out. Eric then tried to catch one of the Hyenas' ball, but failed. Next was Nicholas being dodged out by a Hyenas and he ended up with a somersault. Not even 3 seconds, Ganesh was then the last one being dodged out by the Hyenas.
Victory was so close if we could win the 4th game. Despite the lost, Ronins players did gain another depth of valuable experience.
p/s : the vidoes of the game will soon be posted up on ::: KDU Ronins ::: Dodgeball Club on facebook and being embedded here with suitable size.
