Hi everybody, another week of intensive IHRG games have concluded and this time, the focus was on our Carom and Scrabble teams. I’m extremely proud to announce that both our teams exceeded expectations and made evident improvements from last year.
17 and 18 December was the Inter-Hall Carom Competition, in which our Carom team squared off against the rest with tremendous results, winning 3 out of 4 fixtures on the 1st day, with the only loss coming from our duel with Hall 9, known for its stronghold in Recreational games. The momentum carried loss steam on the 2nd day, where we notched victory in 1 out of 3 fixtures, partly because we faced off with eventual Semi-finalist and finalist Hall 11 and Hall 6. 4 wins out of 7 assured us of a placing in the Quarter-finals, our best placing in the past 2 years. Since only Semi-finals are played in this year’s IHRG, our progress halted there. Nevertheless, our current Carom team provided much hope and has set a solid base in which future successes can be built upon. Kudos to the Carom team headed by Su Ru, which has won respect from other halls attributed from our strong competitive nature and ‘never say die’ spirit.
It was nearly the same scenario for our Scrabble Team. We finished the competition with 4 wins out of 7, but it was not enough to qualify for the semi-finals. Still, the intensive hard work and tenacity of our players during the competition was the evidence of their frequent training which even include Hari Raya Haji. The players worked their socks off to memorize list after list of scrabble words and came up with numerous strategies to fend off opponents, under the strong leadership of our captain Yun Xin. We were unlucky not to progress further, but our results was an improvement from the past year, so we can take pride from this year’s showing.
