More cerita............Darts

Team CIMB went on to enter the NBSC Tourney in 2008 which was held at K Klub Tmn Melawati. Again I was selected to represent CIMB after selection was conducted at Semantan’s pantry. We were again coached by Encik Amin Abdul Ghani. Jaguh2 Pantry Semantan were also selected bcos they played mostly everyday there when they did not have driving assignments out there. Jega, Din, Senu, Zali and the newcomer Sam had a practice there and they became quite good darters by then. I was practicing most of the times at home bcos I have 4 dartsboards i.e. Nodor Intersports, Winmau Blade III and Calsberg Winmau (2). In addition, I have hectic schedules at the office and my office is not that near to Jln Semantan. We had few friendly matches where we won against HSBC (2X) at the B Sentral and lose against CB Darters.
NBSC single event took place a day earlier at K Klub. I went on to beat opposition started with the Maybank player who had beaten me in 2007 at the quarterfinal. I went on to beat few more players until the semi-final where I supposed interruption from the team members had bothered my concentration against Mathi @ Mathew of RHB and I lose 0-2. But I had a quick recovery to beat Faizal 2-0 of AMBANK to capture 3rd place in the single event. I was so delighted to manage a few steps ahead of the rest and improve my performance since 2007. CIMB however only managed to get 5th place in the team event when we somehow lose POWER!!...Disaster when we ate too much during the lunch break…
About two week after, we entered MIBA Tourney which was also held at K Klub. The same team went on to compete against other Investment Banks. We had a tough challenge in the 1st match where we hold on to beat them 2-1. We then beat MIDF Team that seems to be quite tough too. I went to beat their single player 2-0. No chance given to him. In the final, CIMB faced Maybank and I went on to beat the single player 2-1. The rest was depending on the double team of Jega n Din to pounce Maybank. After relentless darts throws to check at double 9, Din finally able to finish off the set. CIMB Group was MIBA Champion for 2008. Everyone was joyous with the achievement. After the tournaments, Team went to play few friendly matches outside like Securities Comm and DBKL and we won the bouts.
