Football can be cruel sometimes.

After an incredible journey through the Inter Department Football Tournament 2026, our dream of lifting the trophy came down to a tie-break against Oceanography. This time, the result didn’t go our way. But today, the scoreboard does not define our team.

From the very first match to the final whistle, our boys fought with heart, courage, discipline, and pride. We started with a commanding 4–0 victory over PML, followed it with a 2–0 semi-final victory over MFA, and fought our way all the way to the FINAL.
And then came the toughest moment—the tie-break.

We may have lost the trophy, but we did not lose our spirit. We did not lose our unity. And most importantly, we did not lose our pride. 💙
To every player who gave everything on the field: Thank you.

To our coaches and management: Thank you for believing in this team.

To every supporter who cheered from the sidelines: This journey was yours too.

A runner-up medal may not be what we dreamed of, but reaching the FINAL and fighting until the very end is something worth remembering.

Sometimes you win the trophy. Sometimes you win the respect. Today, we earned both the respect and the pride. 🫶

Keep your heads high, boys. This is not the end of the story.

This defeat is a lesson. This pain is motivation. And this team will come back stronger. 🔥

Congratulations to Oceanography for their victory and respect to both teams for an unforgettable final. 🤝

Maritime Law & Policy — Together in victory, together in defeat.
