With a rough start to the season, the Dalat boys’ soccer team was heading into the tournament with doubts. But the team knew they had to hold their ground and show up ready to fight despite the low morale. On Friday, September 27th, 2024, at exactly 1:58 p.m., the majestic boys’ soccer team walked wholeheartedly onto the field… Let the games begin!
The whistle blew, and the ball was pinged around. Bodies were flying around the field here and there, fighting their hardest not to lose track of the ball. The game was tight, but it wasn’t until Darnell Dwumfour (12) played an exceptional ball to Adriaan Hueting (11) that a win was secured for Dalat on the first day. The player who ensured the win said, “My brilliant back heel was cold. It ignited excitement among the fans and my teammates” (Dwumfour). And that wrapped up the first day of intense labour out on the fields of battle.
The team awoke early the next morning. The players were sore from the war that tore them straight to the floor after a long previous day. One by one, all the teams started warming up their fit bods. As the teams swarmed the field, ready to fight, the referees started the game. Players poured their hearts out, aiming for the top spot. Fans were screaming, crying, and gasping as the intensity arose.
The sun was sky-high and blazing hot. The tournament was coming to an end. All the teams played, but in the end, it was the Dalat Soccer team that came back victorious. After blood, sweat, tears, and a few sessions of mandatory bonding, the Eagles got what they deserved. Romeo Kontsas (12) held up the trophy and the whole team shrieked with joy. What a finish to the weekend! The team left feeling proud and fulfilled, especially the one and only G.O.A.T—Mr. Van.
