Clash of the Titians

Seasons greetings! I’m sure everyone is in a jolly Christmas mood! For those who were still with us in hall to support the volleyball guys and girls team witnessed spectacular morning as our girls faced off against Hall 16 and our guys team Hall 6.

The blazing hot sun was unrelenting as the first volley was made watch by dozens of squinting eyes as our girls team secured victory in straights sets against Hall 16. Our girls played a steady game and showed their dominance testing the resolution of the hall 16 defense which crumbled.

The guys did us proud too though they failed to claim victory over Hall 6. The volleyball game was a delight to watch as every eye was fixated on the match. It was clear that both sides showed all the attributes that sports upholds – passion, fighting spirit, team spirit, sportsmanship and for us graciousness in defeat. It was a trilling and exciting match to watch as our hall claim the 1st set 25-23; and lost the next 2 sets 17-25 and 16-25. The match had several controversial moments as several judgment calls were made against our hall. Though many felt these call were unjustified, in spirit of true sportsmanship our players soldiered on despite the odds. It heart wrenching to witness our defeat as our team continued to fight hard despite being down.

As we approach a well deserved break from the IHG, we would like to firstly wish all our sports people happy holidays. We would like to thank all those who have been coming to support our Hall in the match, the welfare team for always being there aid our players with drinks and bandages and everyone who has contributed in one way or another. Merry Christmas!
