I can't seem move on.
The higher you pin your hopes, the greater the disappointment. So true.
I don't know about the others, but personally, it is that upsetting to see that against all odds the Div II team went so far; winning the preliminaries, moving on to the Cup-Semis (not Plate, not Bowl but the Cup, mind you) and winning the Semis against JJC, it was simply unbelievable and the feeling seems so surreal, yet at the finals we lost the Cup.
I didn't expect much before we played, because I don't have the ability to determine the outcome of the game. All I could do was to guide and direction the J1s and I'm so so glad that they help the team advance. The victories after and after each round proved that we can do it but we didn't. We lost it in the finals.
I don't know what went wrong. Were the opponents much stronger? Or had the few of us exhausted out from the previous games? Or was it just one fatal mistake?
The consolation for my efforts: Cup runner-ups.
I wasn't happy. I wasn't even smiling.
