Good to be back!!

I'm glad to be back after an extremely busy sports calendar -that's how term 2 is! As captain, I lead a formidable school football team with a potent attack and a team that arguably plays the best football in the whole northern region. But, our school had sort of curse that needed to be broken -silverware drought! Our school had a tendency of playing great football but never won many trophies. The last time our school collected silverware was in 2004, well 4 years ago. As customary, we managed to reach several finals but always finished runners-up or third place, including on one occasion that we lost to Okalongo SSS 1-0, the very school that won the most prestigious prize in the country -the Coca Cola Football Stars 2008. I should tell you that we managed to break the curse! We won something this year. Our own Gabriel Taapopi SS School Tournament, that means that I became the first captain to lift the trophy from our own school. Since its inception in 1998, Gabriel Taapopi has never won her own trophy, well, until this year that our team made history. It was a privilege leading such a team, and we enjoyed ourselves, being on tour -weekend in and out. I just hope that the boys keep up the wining spirit to next year, and then hopefully win more silverware. What a sporting year it was for me. Now know the meaning of "Bon ape tit". Joga Bonito!
