Throughout the tournament, we had the privilege of competing against numerous skilled and formidable opponents. While we did not emerge at the top of the rankings, the lessons we learned and insights we gained from this experience were invaluable. Undoubtedly, this experience has also motivated us to work harder as a team. After taking time to reflect on our performance, we were able to identify areas for improvement, allowing us to set ambitious goals for future tournaments.

Beyond the games, we were able to strengthen our bond as a team through a variety of shared experiences, from the pre-tournament team dinner, to exploring Hong Kong and visiting popular tourist attractions like the Peak together. Overall, the tournament was a wholesome trip that not only provided us with an invaluable experience, but also brought us closer together as a team.

Last but not least, we would like to express our gratitude to Hong Kong Lacrosse for hosting such an exceptional event. We would also like to thank our esteemed sponsors, including FCA Lacrosse, Kelly Benefits, and Kairo, for their generous support. Their support has enabled us to pursue our passion for the sport and represent our team on the international stage. We look forward to participating in upcoming tournaments with greater resolve and determination!
