Soon as the first game started the mood was changed; the team wanted to win. We lost the first game against Subic Bay Spacecakes 11-8, then we lost our second game against Sunken Pleasure (SP) 11-7, the team finally won the third game reaching the point cap of 11 giving the team a total of 26 points, this placed us fourth in our pool and also meant that we made it to the semi’s. Bueno would once again face Sunken Pleasure; this time the team was more intense since we gave them a difficult game the first time. The team came close and even closing the opponents lead by one point, but experience and skill was with them and they won 11-8, they also won the tournament defeating Spacecakes in the finals.
The team didn’t only go to Zambales for the tournament but also to bond, have fun, and get to know the team members. This was a chance for the older members of the team to get to know the new ones since most of the people who went have just started playing with Bueno before NYL started. The team also had players from another team as well; Wax, Roy, and Raf, who were big help in the games and in the fun as well. All in all the team learned a lot about beach ultimate but more than that the team learned more about each other.
