I can't lie, the season so far has been rather a drag, and it is understandable that everyone is feeling down about the losses. Life is full up and downs. The three teams currently ranked at the bottom all made it to the finals last year, which is surprising for everyone. But the crowd loves an underdog, and that's what will help us persevere.

At the '94 World Cup, Ireland came into the mix as a dark horse. And we pulled ahead and succeeded. The showdown between Lynch and Krum was outstanding, and our chasers were second to none. But no one believed that we could do it until we did it. They were rooting for us because we were the underdogs, the team with the best morale, and the team that inspired hope.

Kestrels, we have the ability to be that team once again. Let's make the most of this backwards advantage and carry forward.

~~And stop whining.~~

	It's just nice to see someone not whinging about a loss or a bad game for once. Sometimes I think everyone just comes on these things to complain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
