Our team had a flying start in the football match on Saturday and until the last 10 minutes, we were leading by 1 point. However, to our surprise, they managed to score that extra goal to end the game in a draw, probably, because you weren’t there.

Atop, the weather conditions too were against us. The ground was really wet, making it difficult for us to execute our strategies. By the end of the game, we exhausted too much of energy as we were sliding on the wet ground.

Not only did we all have the time of our lives in the match but we also missed your presence in the ground.

I hope to meet you as soon as you are discharged from the hospital.

Best wishes,

Ben
