A Hockey Match
Life is more fun if you play games
Playing games as well as watching them in progress is not only a fun but also a joyful act. All over the world various games are played. They provide both happiness and a number of lessons to lead a successful life. I am fond of playing and watching hockey matches. Last Sunday a friendly hockey was played between our club and Star Club. It was played in LDA Ground, Johar Town. Both the teams were well prepared and in high spirits. The whistle blew and the match started at 10 am. Forwards of both sides made heavy attacks on the goals of opponents. At last Star Club players succeeded to score the first goal of the match. We were under pressure now. Our efforts could not bear fruit and the first half ended. During the break our coach gave us some important hints which proved very useful in the next half. “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm”. We entered the ground with a new soul and a winning spirit. We made up our mind to win the match at any cost. We changed the positions of our forwards. We also changed our strategy from defensive to offensive. Every player of our team was attacking the opponent goal like an eagle. This confused the opponent players. In the meanwhile, our left half took the ball from an opponent and showed it the way into the goal. It was a superb move. It raised our spirits. In the next five minutes we scored the 2nd goal. Now we became much careful to defend our goal. Star Club did its best but in vain. The whistle blew and we were the winners. We celebrated our victory in a decent manner and returned to our homes. ” The game itself is bigger than winning.”
