HK Giants/Yuen Long

This Saturday 15^th, the HK GIANTS were down for the first to Tseung Kwan O to play their last game in 2012. After a long debate on which was the fastest way, we arrived to the pitch and get changed, ready to kick some asses.

Our opponents of the day were Yuen Long, 5^th position, young and fast team. We were focus and determined to not make the same mistake as our last game, when we lost focus and motivation and completely jumped out of the game in 2^nd half.

With, again, 14 players on the game sheet, a proper warm up and a few shots on our sick keeper, we started the first half in attack. The first few minutes showed a very strong defense, leaving no opportunities to our opponents to shoot. Hopefully, their keeper successfully stopped our first few shots as well, to make sure we can’t get the lead. After 8 minutes, the score was 2-2 and our defense in 5-1 pushed them many time to the last seconds allowed in attack. On our side, the few nice combinations that we set up didn’t end up as goals, but were definitely good signs of the health of our attack.

The score didn’t evolve much until the 15^th minutes, getting our first time-out on the draw score of 5-5. But then, they started to use combinations for their left wing, and we didn’t react early enough, letting them score a 6-1 within 10 minutes, giving them a 5 goals lead (11-6) 5 minutes before the half time. Hopefully, we manned up the last minutes to get back and reach the break with a 3 goals gap, 11-8.

The speech during half time was clear. Keep our control, don’t try to rush out and play individually and play our match. The first 7 players went back on the pitch, fully motivated to win this game.

And it worked. After scoring 2 goals in a row in the first 2 minutes, we were back in the game, chasing our opponents. It went back and forth until the 8^th minutes, when they get back a 3 goals lead. But for the first time, the GIANTS didn’t lose focus and stayed in the game, which brought us to score a 6-1 in 15 minutes, getting us to lead by 2 goals (19-17).

Then, our German Max decided it was a bit too easy, and on a counter-attack, successfully got a red card straight away. With 4 minutes on the clock and a 2 minutes penalty, the end of the game was stressful. But our 6 players definitely nailed this period, scoring 2 goals and stopping one counter attack, which gave us 2 goals lead while back 7 on the pitch.

The last 2 minutes and the aggressive defense of our opponents didn’t change anything, and the final whistle saw our victory on the final score of 22-20.

This game showed that we have the level for this division, as well as team, individual and mental capacity to present well. Some details are still perfectible, but in the end, we played a strong game, showing mental resources and strong team spirit.

With now 3 victories for 4 lost, we’re securing our place in first division. Top 5 is still reachable with 2 games to go before the end of regular season, especially that we’re playing the 1^st and 6^th of the actual ranking, so direct opponents for a place in Top 5.

As usual, a few highlights. Paul, Florian and Marcel, who ended up best scorers of the game with 4 goals each. Tim, our sick keeper who stopped a few important shots. Max, who successfully get the 2^nd red card of the history of the team. And to all the other players, who came and maybe didn’t play much, but your presence was very important for the team.

We’re done with 2012, next games will be in 2013 and we’ll definitely need to start over with another win. Before that, the HK GIANTS will gather for their Christmas dinner and share a few beers before everyone enjoy the holidays!

See you all very soon on the pitch.

Wai Tou/HK Giants

The HK GIANTS were playing against Wai Tou this last Saturday 8th. The 8th position team against the 4th one, all the ingredients to make a nice game, if only we could keep our focus and don’t play a second half same as the last game.

Arrived at the pitch, full of volley ball and badminton players, your favorite reporter lost 10L of water and felt his heart beat going through the ceiling, thinking he might have mixed up the pitch! Fortunately and after confirmation, we were at the right place and we could get changed.

For our first time in our froggy green jerseys, we were 14 players on the game sheet and almost had 5 minutes to warm up our keeper, which is probably what disturbed us. After a powerful “Mushi Nass”, the GIANTS were on the pitch, ready to show off and win this game.

And it worked. The first minutes were ours, scoring a 3-0 in 5 minutes. Our opponents couldn’t find a good shooting position, and when they did, can’t score thanks to their poor accuracy or our keeper! But then, their number 13 woke up and scored 2 goals in a row to bring them back in the game. The following 20 minutes were pretty similar, with a strong defense that blocked all their attempts to shoot at the goal when on our side, we were scoring a few goals to keep a 3 goals lead. The accuracy was not good, but enough to keep a margin.

Unfortunately, and as usual with the GIANTS, the last 5 minutes of the period were the time to rest and a 12-9 in our favor became a 12-12 at the half time. Needless to say that wasting a 3 goals lead is not the best thing, especially when the other team is young and fit and will try to exhaust us.

The half time speech and recommendations were to start as the first half and get back a comfy lead then we can slow down and control the game.

Back on the pitch, the complete opposite happened. Defense was lost, attack even more and our opponents didn’t need that much to score a 4-0 in 5 minutes to lead 16-12. Finally, and after a time out, we scored our first goal at 11 minutes in the 2nd half. But that was too late and after 15 minutes, we were leaded by 6 goals.

Emotionally, we sank through the floor and multiplied wrong choices and mistakes. Poor passing, accuracy down to 0 and five 2 minutes penalty in 2nd half, the only objective was to limit the score gap. Giving them two more easy goals in the last minutes, the final score was 26-18.

Once again, the 2nd half was terrible, showing clearly our main problems. Passing, accuracy and focus. There is no need of training combinations if the ball can’t even roll up from left to right without problems. So we need to work the basis to not waste that many balls.

A few highlights, Angus and Tim, who made some very nice stops and saved us from a bigger defeat. Marcel, for his first game with the GIANTS end up best scorer with 4 goals. Florian and Joakim, who were really close to the red card with 2x2 minutes penalty each. A special thanks to the referees, who tried their best to be fair and despite all we could have thought during the game, really tried to helped us through HK rules. Thanks also to all the supporters came that day, take photos or just lie to us saying we played well, it’s always good to hear!

We have one last game in 2012, against Ho Kwok Pui Zhen, 5th position team. Needless to say that end the year on a win is a must do. And to get ready, we have a training session this Friday 14th from 20h00 to 21h00 at the Wan Chai Park.

Also, the HK GIANTS will have its Christmas dinner on Friday 21st at the Dog House TST, starting from 20h00. Try your best to come over and enjoy one more night with your mates. Wags, mistresses or stranger met on the street are all welcome, the more the best!

See you all very soon on the pitch, ready to rumble!!

Our first overseas fans!

As you probably read in the kits distribution night post, we met 2 American guys who fancied our social polos!

And after a tough flight back due to hangover, they made it home. Just on time to send this nice photo, proving that the GIANTS will soon take over the Handball world!

Alex and Matthew, we're waiting for you to come back to HK to share another few drinks!

Association annual dinner

This Saturday, the Handball Association of Hong Kong was holding it's annual dinner for 2011-2012 season awards.

As the great Division 2 champs we are until end of this season, needless to say that we were down there to get our medals and cup, and make sure people know who we are!

After sharing a few beers with different Handball actors, dismantle the cup in order to drink from it, a dark story between our old J and a chiken head and our few attempts to look cool, we ended up drunk.

Other teams now definitely know why we may be a bit slow on our Sunday's games...

Anyway, that was a great night, we show to the Association that we are involved and want to be part of the HK Handball family.

Let's get the positive stuff up, a place in the top 5 of first league is easily reachable for us so let's make the maximum to do it!

Here some photos of that night, to see the terrible truth!

HK Giants/Sun Nic Gan

This Sunday 18^th of November, the HK GIANTS were playing their 5^th game in the first division against Sun Nic Gan. After receiving our new awesome kits on the last Friday, it was a good occasion to honor our new colors and make sure we start a new series of win!

With 12 players on the game sheet, it’s with confidence that we started warming up, welcoming 2 new players. Another French, Matthieu, and a Hong Kong guy, Angus, new goalkeeper.

With 10min to go before the game, we had the bad surprise that our designated coach couldn’t come due to personal issue. Nevertheless, Jack ran to rescue us and make sure we have a valid coach for the game. Then, after a nice coin flipping and a few shots on the keeper, it was time to shout our war scream and scare as much as possible our opponents.

The game started on a normal basis, both team trying to find accuracy and set up a strong defense. First 10 minutes were a bit messy, with only 4 goals for each team. Our old Swedish scored first, followed by Stefan and Trond. Then, it was time for the GIANTS to wake up and show some nice combinations. Listening to the playmaker and pushing right or left brought us some easy shots, which permitted us to score a 10-2 in 15 minutes, to finally lead by 7 points with 5 minutes to go in the first half.

The team kept up the strong defense, helped by a few substitutions and reached the half time on the large score of 16-9.

The half time speech was easy as the defense was strong, and the attack shown some very nice moves. Not much to say, just need to keep it up and don’t lose our focus. With everybody agreeing that we should start the second half on a 0-0 basis, the 7 players went back on the pitch ready to show off.

Unfortunately, the GIANTS felt their usual lost of focus directly from the first seconds and let the opponents score a 3-0 in 1min30. The next 6 minutes were chaotic; the defense was passive, letting the players do what they want. Hopefully, on some individual actions, we scored a few goals as well to keep our 5 goals lead. But then, we went through our worst period since the beginning of the season, losing focus, envy and solidarity. No more play, no more defense, a lot of turnovers. Of course, our opponents enjoyed this and in 8minutes, scored 6 goals to get back to a draw, 20-20. It was time to take a time out and try to brace ourselves. Unfortunately, it was not efficient and a second time out 5 minutes later was necessary, seeing our opponents leading us 22-21.

Hopefully this time, and with a few substitutions, the team stood up and found back his spirit, getting back ahead by scoring a 6-2 in the last 6 minutes. The final whistle arrived like a benediction and the score 27-24 for us doesn’t show enough the difficulties we had in 2^nd half.

We saw a double face game, with a first half really good, strong defense and nice attack combinations. Some players found the frame and scored easily. Also, the playing relationship between players starts to improve and we are definitely getting better. But the second half was terrible, lost of focus and bad decisions that brought us to a difficult end of game while we were leading by 7 points at the half time. We need to improve this point and keep focusing during 60 minutes. Against some better teams, we won’t have that much chance!

A few highlights though, Trond, who finally happened to shoot at 9 meters, and score 5 wonderful goals as well as block a few shots; Matthieu, who scored his first goal with the team and 48h after arriving HK; Angus, who did some really nice stops and survived a shot in the face, Rolf and Ulf, great supporters!

With a few more games in December, we should as much as possible try to come over for trainings, and keep the good stuff done. We have now some proper sessions and drills, nice kits, a few new and motivated players, so definitely no reasons to continue to win!

Hope to see you all very soon!

Sponsoring!

GIANTS,

We are proud to announce that we signed a sponsorship with the Dog House and Eicó.

Cheuk Lai/HK Giants

This Sunday 14^th of October, the HK GIANTS were up to their 4^th game, expecting to win their second game. The opponent of the day was quite familiar as we use to train against most of the players when City U invites us! So a good reason to make a great game and beat them as we do during trainings!

But then started the problems, and 2 cancelations later due to some “injury-we-can’t-name” (for the sake of these players), we were only 8 players available, thus a bit short to ensure a good bench and enough power in the end of the game.

Arrived at the pitch and got changed, the mummies team (or grand-pa team) start to wrap himself in not less than 50 meters of medical tape. A foot here, a hand there, a finger on the right, an ankle at the back… Needless to say, we were looking like warriors.

After a few shots on our keeper to warm him up, it was time to start in the cold air conditioned of the gym.

As usual with us, the start is always tough and we have difficulties to be 100%. Hopefully, our opponents had the same problem and after 13 minutes, the score was only 3-3. Our defense was as strong as our attack was messy. A few forced shots, nobody listening to the playmaker, accuracy near 30%... All the problems we’re trying to improve during trainings were there and all at the same time.

Then, our opponents decide to pass the 2^nd gear and find back some accuracy. Due also to our defense becoming more passive, they easily scored 5 goals in 10 minutes to lead us 8-4. The last minutes of the first half were just enough to see one more goal for each side and reach half time on the score of 9-5.

With everyone giving his comments and pointing out the main problems, we started the second half ready for the fight, especially knowing our opponents were easily beatable.

Unfortunately, the beginning of second half was no better than the first one, and after 3 minutes, we were leaded by 6 goals, 12-6. It was the time for Stefan to decide to hurt himself, on a simple spin, and have to go out because of tendon issue. With 7 players to go and a ferocious will, we manned up and got back our strong defense, not follow by the accuracy. And while we were missing a few shots and scoring even less, our opponents also started to feel febrile and miss a lot. After 13 minutes, the score was 15-12 for them, and we were feeling that we were getting over them mentally.

Feeling confirmed when we score a 5-2 to come back to an even score, 17-17, 5 minutes before the end of the game. A last time out took, and we were ready to win this game. But the Goddess of Handball was not ours this day, and after two unusual penalty shots granted to our opponents, we ended the game on the sad score of 19-17.

Again, and as every other games before, the main problems were no communication in attack, poor accuracy and a lack of fitness that make us look like the Ancient Egypt GIANTS more than the strong and winning HK GIANTS.

A few highlights, Wan who throw a big game, stopping a lot of balls and making sure we were not sinking ; Fabien, always important in attack and defense, despite his hand injury ; and all the other players who had to play full game or almost!

Hopefully, here we are, with a one month break before the next game, good time to recover from injuries and get down to the 7 trainings planned. Time to train hard and get our 2^nd win!

See other post for training time, and see you all there!

HK GIANTS COMMITTEE

HK Giants/HKU

This Monday 1st of October was the theater of a terrible revenge between the finalists of last year 2nd division, HK Giants versus HKU.

The Association decided to plan the game on a long weekend, then it could be even more difficult for guailos to gather a team. But even with all the persons in the world against us, we would never give up and fight for it!

Arrived at the pitch with 9 players, including the keeper, we started warming up and get ready for the fight. With about 5 minutes before to start the game (!!), we warmed up our German goalie and made up a strategy pretty similar as last season final: beat them down.

The first minutes were a good examples of how good our defense can be and how messy our attack can be. After 15 minutes, the score was only 4-5 for HKU and it was time to take our first time out. Unfortunately, this seemed to disturb us, as we then let them score 2 more goals to lead us by 3 goals. The end of the first half ended on the score of 8-10 for HKU, and our giants organism starting to be tired.

After a few breathe and a good rest, we started the second half the same way we ended up the first one. Messy in attack, with some fast shoots and a strong defense. After 7 minutes, the score was 12-14, and we were thinking that we'll never get back these 2 goals difference. But our fighting spirit, and probably a bit of French power completely changed it, and we score a 5-1 to finally, lead the game by 2 goals.

At that time, and with 10 minutes left on the clock, the deal was to play slowly, save this 2 goals difference and not let them tire us. Of course, with guailos, you say one thing and they do the opposite. After a few missed shots and some fancy moves, we finally spent the last 3 minutes on a 1 on 1 defense, noticing the amazing stop from Tim, who saved us from the draw, and the fantastic fall from Trond, 12 nominations at the Oscars, which lead to a penalty and our 22 goals.

Final score, 22-20, 3 first points and win of the season, let's roll baby!

A few highlights, Tim, who gave up part of a fantastic birthday afternoon with mother-in-law, our back line Trond, Benoit, Stefan and Guillermo, who found back some accuracy with 13 goals, Wan who throw his body to score an important goal, Max, all the way from Tai Long Wan, who had to camp with all his handball stuff to make sure to be on time, Arnaud, who fight with another guy and Florian's instructions and coaching who was very important. Thanks also to his little finger that make him look like a British Lord... And thanks to all the others who was here for this tough but fantastic game.

Thanks also to our coach arranged by Jack.

Next game in 2 weeks, on Sunday 14th. Until then, a few trainings are on, check the "October trainings" post!

HK Giants/YMCA

On Sunday 23rd of September, HK Giants was playing his second game of the season against YMCA.

Your favorite journalist was unfortunately away, so the report will be quite tiny.

Anyway, the gossips tell about a non fair play game, some hardly understandable referee's decision as well as a very low accuracy to get to the final score of 23-18.

But it's not time to complain and reject the fault on others, we are still perfectible and need to improve a few more points.

Check the schedule for the trainings and get down to the pitch for some good sessions!

I.ROBOT/HK Giants

This Sunday 16^th of September was scheduled the first game of the season. Our comeback to the first league was a big time, with a new organization of the team, becoming a club, changing its name to HK Giants, using old jerseys (hipster style) and welcoming a lot of new players.

Old habits never change, and after a good warm up around the pitch (footbridge, corridor) we used our 27 seconds allowed between entering the pitch and the beginning of the game to shoot a few balls to our German keeper.

After an amazing coin flipping, it was time to finally start. Our opponents of the day, I.ROBOT, reminded us one of the worst Will Smith’s movies, and we couldn’t allow this. Also, we were fully motivated due to the few training sessions and the game sheet full of players.

Surprisingly, we probably made the best first 15 minutes we ever played. Leading 8-3 after a quarter, against the top 2 of first league of last season was a great point and an amazing motivation. Unfortunately, we let them come back with a terrible 5-0 in 6 minutes, to finally reach the half time on a parity score of 10-10.

We also lost Florian just before the half time, when he decided to make his little finger meet the shoes of the goal keeper. As everybody knows, this kind of meeting never ends well, and he left the pitch with a dislocated finger and cracked bone. Good luck for the recovery!

It was then time to starts the second half, motivated to not let them score anymore. The first 12 minutes were very tight, tough, with strong defense on both side and an attack lacking of precision. The score was then 15-14 for them, and we were confident that we can keep going on until the end. But then, they decided to show off why they ended 2^nd last season, and scored a 6-0 in 10 minutes, to leave us completely stunned on the score of 21-14.

Hopefully, we reacted in the last 5 minutes, and show all our pride. The end of the game was a bit messy, a lot of turnovers and the final whistle stopped the hemorrhage at 24-20.

What we can note about this game: the attack, especially at the beginning of the game was really good. Playing simple, rolling the ball from right to left, waiting for a space to shoot. We saw the results, leading by 5 points. Then, when we all started to be tired and starting to make some wrong decision, force the pass or the shoots, which ended up in numerous turnovers. We need to keep cool and let the ball roll more, take the time in attack. We have plenty of time but always try to shoot within 15 seconds.

Concerning the defense, some points are perfectible, especially taking care of the line and don’t let the back players running into our 9 meters. But as last year, the defense is strong and a good base for the future.

Anyway, all these points are easily improvable by training, and we try now to have quite regular sessions, so every player is welcome to come down as much as possible and get this stuff done!

To end up the recap, a few highlights of the game. Tim, our German keeper (not as trendy as Felix hopefully) who made some wonderful stops. Fabien, who played well and scored some important goals, and finish top scorer with Stefan.

As said at the beginning of this post, some changes are on the way, they will be announced more officially later on.

We also would like to welcome all the new players who joined during summer, for, we all hope, long long time!

And thanks to the supporters came this Sunday, hope we can even more in the coming weeks.

Stay tuned for the news and keep the good stuff up!

CONGRATULATIONS BOYZ – WE MADE IT!!!!!!

Team mates and Supporters of AKITA Handball:

This was truly a fantastic season and we have earned ourselves that spot back in the top Handball league of Hong Kong! The AKITA organization would like to thank all the players and supporters for their continuous involvement and commitment throughout the 2011/2012 season – it does not work without you guys!

AKITA was founded in September 2008 which means we have now completed our 4th official Handball season in Hong Kong. Most of the original players were still part of the team when we ascended up the league from the starting position in 3rd- to the 1st League. Unfortunately that first appearance in 1st League during the season of 2010/2011 is one to forget! Many players and expats left Hong Kong and it was a difficult time for the team to find new players and training grounds. At the end of a though season we found ourselves back in 2nd League and we had to ask ourselves the question whether it makes sense to continue or throw the towel. But we decided to put in a few extra efforts and keep the AKITA team alive to rise once again and show why we founded the team in the first place: to play proper handball, create mateship and have fun times on and off the pitch! Now let's make sure we don't slack out over the summer and we are all ready and hungry for a hammering comeback in 1st League!!!

I am going to send out a few more messages following this one soon to get our END OF SEASON TOUR organized and also to communicate about our SUMMER ACTIVITIES so stay tuned!

WELCOME BACK TO 1ST LEAGUE BOYZ!!!

Akita Committee

Watch out 1st division, Akita's coming!

12 games. We played 12 games since September 2011, with a result of 10 win and 2 lost. 12 games to have the right to play a last one, a final game for the Championship title. Also, we had to make sure that no teams this year could stay unbeaten!

This Sunday 6^th of May, Akita was playing HKU, only team we didn’t beat for the whole season, with a unique goal, win the title.

Arrived at the pitch one hour before the game, we could feel the pressure, the motivation and the stakes of this game. All the ingredients were here for an epic game.

With 14 players on the game sheet, the rotation was not a problem. After the usual training in the corridor, strafing between the maids out on this day (let’s say for supporting us), and throwing some balls around, it was the time for an intense speech, recapping the season passed and the main points to follow for this game. Needless to say, some funny guys didn’t follow at all the guideline!

Joakim, after flipping the coin, decided to start in defense. The pink color of our opponent’s jersey and our motivation were enough to scream the most powerful “Muschi Nass” of all time (some even say they heard it around the Peak!).

The first minute saw us scoring the first goal. The defense, for both teams, was really strong and intense, and after 5 minutes, the score was still 1-1. At that time, HKU decided to accelerate and despite our willingness, we took a 5-0, letting HKU lead 6-1 after 15 minutes. The time out took at the 10^th minutes didn’t help stopping them, and we felt like we had to react and find a solution.

And we found our solution, called Fabien. Our left winger, clearly on fire, scored 4 goals to help us coming back and we reached the half time on a lucky score of 7-7.

We need to note that on a fast break, Joakim and a player of HKU had a tough time in the middle of the pitch. Joakim found funny to have a close look to the floor, unfortunately, his arch of the eyebrow didn’t think the same, and to punish him, decided to bleed abundantly. As a Swedish warrior, he didn’t pay attention at all and was ready to play, but we took him out and brought him put a plaster on.

Well, enough of Swedish story, back to the game!

The half time speech was again, very intense, repeating the main point and pointing out what we had to improve for the 2^nd half.

We then started in attack, ready to kill the game as soon as possible. After three minutes, score was 9-9 and we finally, got back the lead on another shoot of Fabien. HKU didn’t allow it and in one minute, score 2 goals to lead 11-10.

With the pressure increasing after each minute, we saw our opponents becoming nervous and missing more shoot in attack. A few stops by our amazing German keeper helped a lot. Until the 15^th minute, score was really tight, 15-14 for Akita.

Then, with our entire champion’s heart, we passed the 4^th gear and made a 4-1 to force the decision. 6 minutes before the end of the game, we were leading by 3 goals. But then, we decided that the suspense was not big enough, so we let them come back with 2 minutes to play. All the people on the bench were standing, praying the time to go faster!

But with 2 last goals from Akita, we definitely killed the game, and the final whistle stopped the score on 22-19.

The explosion of joy and the pressure dropping down, we hugged each other to celebrate the first Championship title of the Akita team. After a few more screams and a round of applause to our valorous opponents, we left the pitch to enjoy a few well deserved beers.

I was going to make a list of thanks, but as I’m not really good at it and I don’t want to forget anybody, I will again, thanks everybody, the players present on Sunday, the players who were away, our supporters, players who join us during the season, players who had to leave during the season, players who were playing last season but who didn’t give up.

This title is our reward for a fabulous season, a wonderful team spirit and a commitment to each other of every minute.

We need to keep this spirit up, and show next season that our accession to 1^st division is not a mistake. We’ll keep doing some training and gathering during the summer, but also organize a few social events, first of all to celebrate, and then, to celebrate again!!

Gentlemen, thanks for this amazing season.

Stay tuned!

Play off - 3rd win!

It was a sunny Sunday. The sun was shining, birds were singing, no one could have imagined that such a terrible game was about to start!

Akita against Sin Fou, match up for us, but against a team which cause us some trouble during the regular season. Needless to say we were absolutely ready to beat them down and send a message to HKU, which we will play for the championship title!

After climbing up to the sports centre, we get changed and after the usual trouble with the jerseys, we finally warmed up. At this time, we need to note the amazing block from Arnaud, who used his nose and left eye to block a shoot from Hervé. After painting the floor with his own blood and running to the washroom under our astonished look, we gathered and scream our famous German war scream!

We started the game in defense, ready to show them on their first attack that there’s no place for fun with us! Hopefully, we failed, and leave them the first goal on a 9 meters shoot. As usual, our beginning was just so so, playing on their rhythm and wasting too much attack because of our precipitation. The good point is that we are better individually and we scored quite luckily. That brought us to lead by 5 goals after 15 minutes.

The end of the first half was just a basic attack defense, each team replying to the other one with a goal or a miss. Definitely, our defense was not as focus as the game before, and their 3 feet tall back players scored too much goals that we can accept. On our side, attack slows down a bit and we make sure to score and don’t play their game. We reached the half time on the score of 13-9 for us. The scoring was quite even, with 6 goals from the wings, 5 goals from the back players and 2 from the line.

After changing sides, drinking a few sips of water and discussing strategy, we decided unanimously that we should kill the game in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Once again, we failed (we’re used to have some laborious starts) and after 10 minutes, we were still leading by 5 points. Finally, we woke up a bit and passed the 2nd gear to make a 4-1 in 4 minutes.

The opponents feeling they had to change their strategy if they want to stop our slow but unstoppable advance tried a very aggressive defense, one on one. Few seconds were enough for us to find the solution and we killed the game (later than our plan) by scoring a 7-2 and increasing our lead to 11 goals.
The last 5 minutes were quiet; our opponents lost their will of playing and we finally end up on the nice score of 30-18.

After a quick celebration, a team picture, it was time to have a dinner to farewell our German goalkeeper, Felix. We had to wait for the German to take a shower (French one is way faster, guess why), and then, wait for 5 taxis to bring us down to TST.

The dog house welcomed us (21 persons!!), and after a few brews and snacks, it was time to say goodbye.

So thanks to Felix for joining us this year, thanks for being our trendy goalkeeper, thanks for increasing the quota of German in the team, thanks for giving a new idea of what’s a German shower (a dark story of sausages I heard-ah ah so funny I am) and you know if you want to come back one day, you’ll be always welcome!

For those who stay in Hong Kong for the last game, we have 2 training this week, on Tuesday and Saturday.

We need to get down and work out for our final against HKU.

Stay tuned and see you all very soon!

May trainings!

Akitans,

Schedule of the coming trainings at the Wan Chai Park pitch:

- Tuesday 1st May: 1-3pm

- Saturday 5th May: 2-3pm


You can find the map of the pitch through this link.

See you there guys!

Play off - Second game!

Remember the first game of this season. We started with a lost, by 1 goal difference against a good team, HKIED. At that time, we were not really drilled, a few new players joined, Joakim was starting his new “grab-the-ball-on-a-9-meters-foul” technique… Many good excuses we repeat whenever we had to mention this game.

But then came the revenge, the 2^nd play-off game between the 1^st (us) and 3^rd (them) team of the 2^nd division. Needless to say we were fully motivated and ready to show them the first game was only a mistake.

With also a game scheduled in the early morning (11.30am) there was no hangover allowed! Hopefully, we played indoor, so we didn’t have to suffer of the heat!

We had the time for a good warm up but also a hard time choosing our jersey (White? Ok, but old or new ones? Old, we don’t have enough new! Yes, but the new ones make my eyes brighter! ...).

Then, it was the time. After the motivation speech from our leaders, team composition and our war scream, we entered the pitch and were ready to give our best.

The first 10 minutes were, especially for the substitution players, a real nightmare. Despite an amazing defense, which limited our opponent to score only 3 goals during this lapse of time, our accuracy in attack was close to 0. We didn’t make the count, but we can easily say that after 10 minutes, we could have lead by 7 or 8 goals if we had scored all of our shots. But no, the score was only 4-3 for us.

Finally, the next 10 minutes were more like a dream. The defense was still excellent, and whenever the opponent finally went through, Felix was here keep his goal clean. And we reached the half time on an impressive score of 11-5 for us.

But even with 6 goals ahead, it was not the time to lose our focus and let them make a comeback. With a few substitutions for the beginning of 2^nd half, the intensity didn’t change at all, which is a really good sign for the 2 last games but also for next season in the 1^st division.

Defense was still very good and our attack showed some nice combinations. After 17 minutes in the 2^nd half, we were leading 20-10 and our opponents were disgusted. They stopped playing in attack, powerless to find a solution to score.

End of the game, 25-11. Akita clearly sent a message to his 2 last opponents: “We are ready and the 1^st place is ours!”.

We’re now sure to go up to the 1^st division, but we need to fight for the 1^st place of the division! Let win our 2 last games and that would be alright!

Welcome also to Herve, another French guy who clearly helped us on this game!

Next games will be on 29^th and 6^th of May! Keep tuned for the good news!

Play off - Première!

This Sunday 18^th was the first game of the 4 playoff games, matches of crucial importance which would decide the future of Akita in 2^nd or 1^st division.

After our usual warm up in the corridor, under the eyes of impressed maids by our virility and power, the basic jokes about French, Swedish and Dodgeball and the difficult choice of our jersey (“We cannot play in white, the other team are also in white. – Yes, but we chose first. – Yes but no, go clean your room!”), we stepped on the pitch, fully motivated by the smell of blood emanating from this place!

Our old guy Joakim, who had the chance to be our one day captain and who made an awesome pre-game speech flipped the coin and… lost.

The first minutes could be considered as an observation round; both teams were playing a strong defense, and really not much space to shoot. Our attack was really nice, and even if we played simple actions, it was enough to lead by 2 points after 10 minutes.

We felt the lack of a right winger during the game, with the impossibility to bring danger and speed on this side of the pitch. We then waited for the 20^th minutes to speed up and score a 5-1 which brought us to the half time on the comfortable score of 13-9.

The second half started on the same rhythm, with strong defense on both side and as usual, some strange referee decisions. It seems that getting his arm ripped off in counter attack doesn’t even worth a yellow card… Fabien made an excellent job as the scoot in defense, stealing a lot of balls and annoying their attack which was clearly disorganized.

After 10 minutes in the second half, the score didn’t move that much and only 3 goals on each side had been scored. But then, Akita decided to wake up and to show them how does a team who aspires to go to 1^st division play. We scored a 7-1 to bring the goal difference to 8 points. The last 2 minutes will only see our opponents score a last goal, and we could celebrate our first win in this playoff.

We still have 3 games to play, and the first place is our priority. We have a great chance to win all, we just need to be committed and join for training as much as possible.

We would also like to thanks all the players who came over, even if they didn’t play much, your presence is important to the team.

And last point, congratulations to our Dodgeball World Champion Fabien. Hope you will not get too pretentions because of this!

Play offs schedule!

After these 4 games, Akita has to be in the top 2 if we want to go back to 1st division. We deserve it and we have the capability of doing so!

So time to focus and get ready for thw show!

Regular season is over with a last win!

The regular season is now over, and we are proud to finish 2nd of the division. .
Although we had the capabilities to be first!

This Sunday was the game for the battle for the 2nd place, if we won, we keep the 2nd place, if we lost, we go down to 3rd position.

Then, after seeing our 2 left handed player joining, occupying the corridor and enjoying the distribution of our new jersey (so far, nobody found a difference between new and old ones), we started with the ball against BRAVE for the battle of our lifes!

The first 20 minutes were really a tough fight, with a strong defense on our side to prevent them from scoring too much. But our attack, despite some nice combinations, saw too much waste to really lead the game. We kept 1-2 goals difference until the 20th minute, which happened to be-in my opinion- the beginning of the 5 best minutes we played this year. Defense was amazing, strong and fair, and attack was also perfect. Combinations worked, open shots scored and a 5-1 for us to reach the half time on the nice score of 13-8.

We changed the side pitch and compared our muscles during a happy but serious half time, and then started the half time on the same bases! Defense kept doing well and attack, despite a bit more wastes, shown some very nice things. After 10 minutes, we were leading by 8 points, and that was the time for Akita to have its usual lost of focus. Hopefully, our defense still was very good, but we missed over 5 shots in a row, especially 2 in counter-attack (thanks Gerard!). Hopefully, we quickly re-concentrate and the last 10 minutes were an easy and calm end of game. Final score: 25-16.

Some few points to note: it’s so easy when you have a left hand player on the right of the attack! Also, and as it’s never good to complain, we can clearly say that the refereeing was quite unfair, with few looooong attacks for BRAVE (and no time’s foul) but also a whistle really more speedy to stop our attack than BRAVE’s one… Whatever, we can’t change them and we are used to it now!

So, we officially finish the regular season and now comes the time of the play off. No schedule yet for the game, and also no idea on how does it work, but we have to keep concentrate and fully motivated as the teams we will meet now are the best one, including the 2 teams who won us!

We still have the Wan Chai pitch for few sessions (thanks Yannick!), so please try to get there as much as possible, then we can train well!

Next trainings:
- February 22nd, 10.00-11.00pm.
- March 7th, 10.00-11.00pm.
- March 21st, 10.00-11.00pm.

See you all there!

6-2

Everything has an end.

After 6 games mastered in a row, with large victory every time, this Sunday 5^th we were meeting the team number one of the A2 division. Needless to say that we were all aware of the importance of this game and fully motivated to show our determination!

The 1 minute warm up allowed by the referees over, we were starting in defense. We directly showed that we will be strong and present in the physical challenge. We then tried to play in attack with a winger who would run in quite often, on center’s command. Unfortunately, we have to say that we probably didn’t try enough this combination during the game and can’t judge its efficiency.

The first 15 minutes were absolutely tight, each team replying to the other in defense as well as in attack. We then succeeded to get a 2 goals leading, that we lost 3 minutes later. Wan decided to take a time-out, to let the back line rest and don’t lose our focus. We finally reached the half time on an advantage of 1 goal for Akita 11-12.

We have to notice now that the HKU defense was quite strong, even if not always clean. And despite some strange refereeing decisions, the game was well balanced with a good first half for each team.

We then started the second half in attack, trying to keep this 1 goal lead and increase it. But as every time, we always have a lapse of time with a lack of focus, that this time was fateful. After 13 minutes, HKU scored a 4-1 to lead by 2 goals, 2 goals that we will never reach back.

The last 5 minutes were quite a mess, with a lot of waste in both teams, in shoots and passes mainly. Unfortunately, they were leading and after few bad decisions and too quick attacks from us, we lost the 2^nd game this season on a tight score of 19-18.

But, even if the lost is quite difficult to accept, it’s clear that Akita has the capability to win them easily. We just need to work more on our combinations and learn when to calm down in attack to avoid any waste and wrong decisions.

Also, even if we had 3 substitution players, we didn’t have player to let the back line rest, which is an important point.

Finally, highlights of the game for 3 players. Guillermo and Gaspard, who scored half of the goals in the first half, and Fabien, whose defense save us few times and almost brought us the draw, if the referees whistled a foul correctly in the last minute.

Anyway, nothing is over, we have a last game against the 3^rd position team on Sunday 19^th, that we will definitely nail. Then, play-off will come and that would be the time to show our power.

Until then, we have training every Wednesday night at the Wan Chai Park (10.00 to 11.00pm on 8^th and 8.00 to 9.00pm on 15^th) and hope to see all of you there!
