[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]KIS Vipers \u2018Strike Back\u2019 at the U15 FOBISIA Games – PART III<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day 3 Football (Boys) Basketball (Girls)<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day three of FOBISIA and the boys were all walking on very heavy legs and we were carrying a couple of small injuries. Our first game was against GIS and we knew that this would be the best chance given the squad sizes of the other schools who had brought separate football teams to basketball. The game with GIS finished 1-1. We again started nervously and rode our luck a little bit but eventually grew into the game in the second half and we equalised to tie the game with a\u00a0 goal from Daniyal.<\/span><\/p>\n

In game number two we played against Kathmandu and again this was back to back which proved to be all too difficult and we started to cramp in the game. The Vipers suffered a heavy loss 5-0 and it left the squad very deflated. This carried to game number three against POWIIS where the Vipers found themselves 4-0 down at half-time. We had a chat and decided that no matter how difficult and tired they were, we would try to keep going if it was possible. In the second half the Vipers went out and scored two goals from Myko and Ian and the game finished 4-2. It was just what they needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next up was XISP and this was the final game as a KIS squad. During the game, which was a 2-0 defeat, we finished the game with 6 players due to more cramps, bruised toes and some other small muscle injuries. Unable to field a team for the final match, XISP lent us some players to field a team against the competition winners HELP. It was a fun game and the boys tried to think of the bigger picture and how much they enjoyed FOBISIA overall. The game finished in a 2-0 defeat but in good spirits with newly made fiends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Two very tough team competitions with a very small squad but I am sure the boys all learned something and still enjoyed the FOBISIA games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The girls were feeling incredibly motivated on the last day of competition for the Basketball, keen to push through despite the sore muscles and injury niggles that were starting to creep in after two very touch days already of competitions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In their first match against Kathmandu, despite a fast breakaway and successful layup from Pui San in the opening play of the game, it was a low scoring game with lots of running from end to end which ended in close 6-2 defeat. Despite this result, the girls picked themselves back up and went in all guns blazing into their second game with a fire and determination I had not seen before. Against a very physical team from HELP International school, the girls stood their ground and played brilliantly for a well deserved 10-2 win.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That match was the catalyst for a surge in confidence from the girls and they went from strength to strength, applying and demonstrating everything we had talked about in the lead up to the games and also on the day. In their 3rd game, the team came up against POWIIS, a very strong basketball team and eventual winners of the tournament. Despite doing everything right and having a lot of shots that just seemed to roll around the rim of the hoop, the team simply lost to a better side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"Knowing that they had to get another win to keep their 3rd place medal hopes alive, the girls went into the next game motivated and positive. In a superb team effort, they won that game 13-10 against XISP. Isabella was steadfast in her defensive position and Dasha took charge of the ball under the basket in both attack and defense. It was also great to see others like Keira, Ana, Juah and Haylie become more confident in their roles on the court.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The 5th and final game of the day and the girls were playing Garden International School for a chance to go home with the 3rd place trophy. I cannot praise the team\u2019s commitment, effort and performance enough in that match. They fought hard, but fairly, and moved the ball around better than they ever before. When they got knocked down, they got back up again and the noise coming from both the players on the bench and the boys in the stands helped to spur the team on. Defensively, they could not be broken down which led to frustration showing in the performance of their opponents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
