It was indeed a classic Cinderella Story that happened at the recently concluded Nestea Fit Camp Hot Ultimate Frisbee Finals.
Going to the final day, my Team (Team Probies) is at the bottom of the team standings in the morning session with a 0-3 win-loss card. We were told that we will be meeting the top team of the afternoon session in our first game with the winner moving on to the semi finals while the loosing team will be out of contention.
Game 1 : Team Probies vs Team # 5 (Race to 11) - we don't have any idea on how they play so we just send our strongest line-up first and we told our girls that they need to defend hard against their female counterparts. Final score: 11-8 with Team Probies going to the semis.
Game 2 - Team Probies vs Team Unit 1 (Race to 13 for 50 mins) - our team is now against the top team in the morning session. In Day 5, we were really outrun and outscored by this team so same strategy - intense defense and offense. The game was really close and nail-biting. Final score: 13-12 with Team Probies going to the Finals!!!
Game 3 - Team Probies vs Team Space Grapes (Race to 15 for 70 mins) - this is the game for the Trip to Boracay. Everyone is playing their best in order to capture the championship prize. Since we had a very tight match in the semis, we're expecting that this will be another tight match. But it seemed that lady luck is on our side as we easily got an early advantage of 3-0 and never looked back. The game ended with the final score of 13-9 with my Team, Team Probies, winning the finals and clinched the trip to Boracay!!!
We were really ecstatic with this achievement since in the beginning of the final day, we are not expecting anything because we haven't won any game in Day 5! It was really a very special blessing from God. Thanks to everyone in the team and to our coach - Coach Roselle - for her advice and encouragement.
GO TEAM PROBIES! See you in Boracay!
