NTL Round 1
Match 1Result: Lost 3 - 0

Team player : Lels
Play maker : Eda


The match started off with us kicking off. The presence of two or more "she who shall not b named players" caused a little bit of apprehension in the coyotes' play. Punch up were fine but not done at full pace thus there was many drop balls, we barely met the other half in the 1st half. However Bedok also barely made it to our try line area as our defence was staying firm till our heavy legs din shuffle fast enuff and allowed bedOk to make their virgin score on our wing. Penalties were called against us for several off sides, off-the-mark dumps and silly mistakes. Second try came in as shuffling were slow again and ifa missed her man by millimetres and were painfully honest to the ref for the no-touch thus baggin bedok's second try which the player thanked ifa for.

Second half, we were still nt up to expectations. Only a few coyotes were trying to create something. However, owing to our lack of composure and first time experience for some, we couldn't fully utilize the potential of our moves to get in a score. Many a times, we could run through a gap bt yet we did not as we were only concentrating on finishing the moves. Our play maker of the game managed to break through bedoks defence once but sadly, ther wasnt ani support thus she was touched after a short distance.

Penalties were lesser though bt its still best nt to hav at all. The third try came in when they caught us off-side on our try line n they returned the favour by scoring on us.

Conclusion: we figured out the areas to further work on from this game and has decided to work on them during monday training.

1) Minimal penalties
2) Stronger defence
3) Faster punch up
4) Efficient constant communication

havin better composure wld lead to the above pts.

Although with a brand new team of coyotes, the mistakes we committed in STL are still being committed in our first game of ntl. However, as Confucius said "Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall". So, we will rise up like the phoenix did in Harry Potter for our future games.
