8 May: Today we had a football friendly against Kelki HSS at the Changjiji field. It was a part of a series of warm up games in preparation for the upcoming inter-school football tournament organized by the Thimphu Thromde.
Skills were basically evenly matched, though we would argue we had the better skills! In terms of stamina, it seems we were no match for the Kelki boys. That’s something we need to work on. After a well fought game, we emerged the victors with a score of 2-1. The boys are now feeling even more pumped up and hope to do well this year. Kelki is considered the strongest in our pool so the win has boosted our confidence.
The good news is that our girls have also drawn inspiration from the game and have begun training. With any luck, we should put on a good show this year!
