The most memorable experience in my life would have to be winning first place in the national level which was Tan Sri Hamzah Cup. This tournament was between all boarding school in Malaysia. It happened in year 2006. It was held at Sekolah Menengah Dato Abdul Razak (SDAR), Negeri Sembilan. I did not even think that my cricket team would get into this final round because it was the first time that my school enter this tournament.
Our teachers especially our coach, Cikgu Khairi helped us for the competition by giving us extra training and motivations. We had 15 players which were the first eleven and four in subtitutes. All of us are form 4 students. We had do so many things to be prepared for the tournament.
First of all, we are compulsary to attend the training every evening. We have start the training from 4 pm to 6.30 pm everyday. We must also stayed back in school during the school holidays. Besides that, we also had many friendly match to build up our strength. Although we were so tired and sicked of all this, we did not care about that. We were stay focused on the tournament.
Before we entered in this national level which was final round, we had won the South Zone level. So, in the national level, in preliminary round, we had faced three school. There were Sekolah Alam Shah (SAS), Sekolah Menengah Agama Persekutuan Labu (SMAP LABU), and Sekolah Menengah Sains Sabah (SMSS). We had made a miracle in this tournament. We had won the battle against SAS by 31050 runs. That was a new record in this tournament.
At this round, we had won all the match. We were so happy because we had reached the semi-final level. In this round, we had to face Sekolah Tunku Abdul Rahman (STAR). We were afraid to meet and clash with this team. This is because STAR is one of the strongest cricket team in this tournament.
There is nothing to afraid. There are same like us. So, keep on fighting until the end! said our coach, Cikgu Khairi.
We had do our best. Finally, we had won this semi-final level by 130-118 runs. We felt that we were on clouds nine. We were so happy because we can reached the final. So, in this final match, we will meet Sekolah Tuanku Jaafar (STJ). They had won another semi-final match against SDAR by 150-129 runs.
In this final match, both teams took their place on the field. There were so many spectators around the field to support their favourite school teams. Both teams also looked very style because they have wearing their own jersey.
This final match had took about two and a half hours. We had start this game by batting first. We had collect 150 runs. Then, our turns to be a fielding side. At this
time, my captain had reminds us to catch and stop every ball that STJ made. We had follow all the captains instructions and decisions.
In the end, we beat STJ team by scoring 150-148 runs to win this tournament. I and all my teammates could not believe that we had won this biggest game. Our coach and all the subtitutes had jumping up from they seats and giving us a standing ovation when we won the game. The audience applauded and clapped loudly. We felt really proud to have won this games. It was a great feeling for me. So, that was the most memorable experience in my life.
