volley ball

Every Monday night we played beach volley ball with our 4 mixed team; Philippe, Max, Antoine and me. Our team name was 'French Connection'. Every Monday night we played a match against one of the other teams. Each match is 2x17 minutes. We lost two games over the whole semester and we were fourth out of 16 in the end rankings. Thus we had to play semi-finals today.

I thought the game would be suspended because of the rain... but it was dry, so the game went on. We had to play against the first team in the ranking. The game was very close and at the break it was 23-23. After the break suddenly we lost 10 points in a row... We could not come back and we lost the game with 7 points difference....

After this game we had to play the 'losers' final for the third place. It looked like it would be very easy! Very soon in the game we had 10 points in advance. After the break they were coming closer, but we were still leading. Than it started pouring with rain, but the game went on. One minute before the end we had 2 points in advance. But at the end it was 59-59. So we had to play one more point.... It was a loooooooooongg rally... but we lost :-( It was so close!

So no medal for us.... But, every Monday night we had a lot of fun playing the games and I have to say, we improved a lot! Next semester we will probably play in the fours mixed on Monday nights and the Threes mixed on Tuesday night!

Now it is still raining! It looks like it will never stop!
