Last game, last frusstrating result
From Coach JB:

 Last game of the season for OG, with 4 key players missing including captain Nicolas.
But despite those absences, the game would start well for OG that would have most of the possession while hotspurs was adjusting proceeding with counter attacks. Then possession would get balanced and both teams would start creating good scoring opportunities. At the 25' Christophe T would be alone against Spurs keeper , drible him and kick the ball on the post. On the following goalkick Hotspurs would score.... In 2mn the game had changed. OG would continue to attack believing in their chances. 5mn before halftime, Hotspurs would  score a 2nd goal, from an offside postion . Despite OG protest referee would validate the goal. 2-0 haltime.

Second half started on the same tempo, and referee would give a penalty kick to hotspurs as Cristophe P and Esad were holding each other shirts. 3-0 .Og kept playing and efforts were rewarded with luciano scoring twice in 5 mn
. 3-2
However spurs would definitely burry og hopes with a nice free kick under the bar.
Congrats to Spurs for their good game.

This season ends with a new bitter defeat for OG who deserved better.
We are frustrated to have been able to get so few points in a whole season. While we deserved to lost some games, we feel many other games were lost due to poor referees decisions in key moments. We feel that some referees don't want to see us in cosmoleague anymore, while we've been there for the past 15 years. Defeat is part of the game, but we only ask for unbiased, if not good, referees. Let's hope the summer break will do everyone some good.
Lastly, today was the last game of our defender Christophe P who will go back to France
. We thank him for his help in OG management during his four years in Singapore. Good luck to him.
