The spirit rages on

At Tampines JC, our Montfortian Giants played against Raffles Institution for the title of National Softball Champions. Despite their hardest efforts, the giants were unable to win their first National title. Nevertheless, the Montfortian spirit will not falter. The silver medals they got are definitely worth ten times more than gold, because they played with all the heart and gave it all. Though they were disappointed by the loss, which was only by a small margin, they will definitely return to the finals next year, even more eager to win the title. As Winston Churchill said, "Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.", the school is extremely proud of the team making it this far and this close. Reaching the final took about 8 years in the making, winning it will take far less than that, we the kind of 'never say never' can-do spirit which the team possess. I'm sure the team will return to give another 100% plus the 200% they gave today.
