loser talking

i am so gutted, oh so gutted.
my mind is still in a blur on how we could have lost the match yesterday.

it was the semifinal in the evening and as predicted, we managed to win 4 out of the 5 matches hence, we advanced to the finals.

in the finals, there were talks that we were going to split some of the doubles but in the end, i still retained mine and played in the women's double. well, i won my game, then it was up to the others to get the point.

men's vip won their too and it was then 2-2. we had lost in men's open and men's veteran then.
it was up to the mixed doubles to seal the fate of the group. oh what heartache when they lost in straight sets.

it was a case of putting the wrong chess pieces in the wrong checkered places. if only we had tweaked our combinations, then the mixed doubles would be ours to take and we would have won at 3-2.

i am only slowly taking all these in today and my mind couldn't stop from straying to yesterday's matches and all the 'what ifs'.

gosh, i really need to get over this disappointment of mine.
it is time to let go but there will be that prize-giving presentation on tuesday. waaa.........well, at least we have lost gracefully and we did not use any imported players who did not work in our organisation!!!!
