Lack of Practice

Lack of Practice

Surveying the results of the various teams taking part in the College's winter sports activities, one is impressed by the lack of success of the majority of them. Particularly is this noticeable in the lower grade teams. Playing the game purely for the sake of enjoyment is all very well, but surely more enjoyment can be obtained if the game is won and not lost. The game can only be won by teamwork and this entails regular attendance at club practices. If a few turn up their keenness to improve the team's play is nullified to a great extent by the non-appearance of the remaining members. You, yourself, know how it feels to fumble a pass or make a glaring mistake. This can only be corrected by consistent practice. See that You turn up to the next teams' practice.
