As captain of the A Team, I’m proud to announce that our hard work has paid off, as we secured the same remarkable result as last year. The road to this victory was challenging, with many obstacles along the way. From the initial formation of our team, we struggled to recruit enough members and faced various difficulties. However, our unwavering focus on our goal kept us going. Each team member gave their best, and through perseverance, we were able to end 2024 on a high note with this incredible achievement.
This victory was made possible thanks to the support of numerous people, including our team members, alumni, coaches, families, and all our dedicated fans. We are truly grateful for your continued encouragement.
