Big Donut munched in Foosball semi final!

Big Donut, the self-proclaimed black horse team of the eight teams participating in the Departmental Olympic Games had their rainbow-coloured bubble burst by team Explode today.

Well, no surprise there really when Big Donut's speciality is to own-goal (that's the entry requirement to join the team).

The first match started with the secret weapon no.9 of Big Donut (everyone is a secret weapon in Big Donut), basically the lousiest player in the team, scoring a signature own-goal. That idiot was mightily pleased with himself.

"Heh, at least that's a goal!" Said the striker from the dreaming team of Big Donut.

Team Explode, feeling bored, gave the opponent an Easter-came-early present in the form of an own-goal! Big Donut felt immensely close to Explode after that generous act, one could almost feel the love in the air.

"I like you already. Welcome to the club!"

After high-five was exchanged, Explode decided to show their true power and quickily brought the match to a 5:1 end. Remember, the 1 for Big Donut was the Easter present. =)

The second match ended in record time, with Explode beating the crap out of the dreaming team with a magnificent 5:0. Thus ending the first game.

Big Donut sent their dream dream team for the second game, the pairing of AKK and OPS! (AKK = aam kong king, OPS = oh peh soot)

Explode won the first match of this second game. The foosball table had turned 20 degree after this match since AKK jarring power was veli the geng!

AKK, team captain of Big Donut, showed his AK power to the fullest in the second match. Synergised with OPS prowess, this resulted in an unbelievable Big Donut win of 5:0!

Yea, I pinched myself too, but it really wasn't a dream.

Team Explode, getting their 'wind' back in the third match, brought everyone back down to earth and kicked Big Donut out of the Foosball event.

Thus ended the black horse team progression.

That wasn't the end of the competition though.

Having fun is the motto of Big Donut, and sportsman-and-woman-ship was abundant in both the competing teams so the third game was on despite the then guaranteed final position for Explode.

The third game turned out to be the most exciting game of all. Big Donut sent their dream team (inside source confirmed this is the real one), up against another strong pair from Explode.

The skill of both teams was almost equally matched, giving the floor a fantastic game. Cheers, taunts, gasps, shouts, jeers, squeals, and most importantly, laughters aplenty. There were even impromptu commentators broadcasting live in English, Malay and Tamil!

The game ended with the one and only Big Donut win for their Foosball semi final.

For Big Donut, getting to semi final in Foosball is already a great achievement and since all involved had fun, it's mission accomplished! =)
