September training

During September, the Handball Association provide us for training, the Lai Chi Kok Sports Centre pitch (Mei Foo MTR station).

We usually start around 20:00.

Everybody is welcome to join!

Next match on Sunday 25th against DEMI

The next game will take place on September Sunday 25th, at the Choi Hung Pitch, at 20:35.

As we usually start playing right after the other game, thanks to come at least 30 minutes before to warm up!

See you all there!

First game of the 2011/2012 season!

Saturday 17th was the first game for the Akita team, at Choi Hung pitch.

Once passed the great surprise that 13 players went to play (and six 9 meters players!!!), we started warming up and discussing about what jersey color we could wear.

Finally, after choosing the white color, it was time to start playing and get back to our handball sensations. We have to note also, that in the second league, we play 2 half time of 25 minutes!

Our opponent of the day were the HKIED team (Hong Kong Institute of Education), and we can clearly say that they give us some hard time during the first half. After 10 minutes, they were leading 8-2, and Akita finally decided that it was a good time to start playing, to reach the half time with only 2 goals less than HKIED.

The second half was more defensive, and each team was replying to the other one. Akita, after 15 minutes in the second half, lead by 1 goal, for the first time of the game. Unfortunately, the last 10 minutes were a bit messy, and we saw some 2 minutes and penalty gently offer to each team.
The game ended by a victory of HKIED, 18-17.

But we can't complain about others, we are the first responsible. Too much waste in the shoot and the pass, some bad decision, but nothing hard to change. We saw also some nice actions, and good ideas, so we can expect a big improvement for the coming games, thanks to our training!

We'd like also to thanks and welcome the new player that joined, and we hope you'll stay as long as possible with us!

See you all for the next game!
