As the sun begun to rise, our lovely Hall 2 Basketball Girls demolished Hall 11 with a score of 50-12. Hall 2's Captain led by example, continually terrorizing their defenses, rendering them helpless to the barrage of points. Every single player called up to the team played a part in the annihilation of the opposition team. There was never a question of who the dominate team were.
In the mid day sun, our Volleyball Boys were at Hall 2 Volleyball Courts battling it out in the Winner's Pool. The opponents drawn were Hall 14. Despite Captain Wei Hong encouraging the team with his shouts and the cheers of supporters around the court, the boys lost with a score line of 25-12 and 25-14. When the match ended, Hall 14's Captain told Wei Hong that the match was very even, just that Lady Luck was on their side that day. Lets take encouragement from this that even our opponents felt lucky to have beaten us!
On the Rec side, our Chinese Chess team, despite their master tactician moves, lost their games. But every match was so close, with our team always threatening the opponents.
We scored!!! :D
Our volleyballer were flying to block the opponent's "blow"(:
C Chess players (deep in thoughts).

As the day begun, our Hall 2 Softball Boys headed out to the lower fields of SRC. It had rained the night before and the pitch was muddy and water logged. With no regard for grace, our boys dived right into the mud, never hesitating to slide to the plates or jump into the mud to catch the ball. Despite decorating their legs with mud and blood, we lost to Hall 6 with a score of 11-9.
Whist the Softball Boys were battling it out in the hot and muddy fields, our Basketball Boys were headed to the sheltered courts of NIE. This was hardly a basketball match, as quoted from our Sports Sec Shao Wei, 'This is more like a rugby match!" Numerous fouls were thrown about and tempers flared constantly. Hall 14 were not able to keep up with the tenacity and talents of Hall 2, thus resorting to underhanded means to halt play and break up our attacks. Our gentlemen were gracious and allowed Hall 14 to score some points, but their never stood a chance against our well trained team. Hall 2 led the scoreline from start to finish, and with a final scoreline of 36-26, a testimony to their championship chances.
As the sun rose to it highest, our softball girls trudged out to the lower fields of SRC. The blazing heat did not do much to dry the severely waterlogged fields. During the warm ups, every girl showed their dedication, shouting commands and running for every ball. Not one girl had a white spot left on their jerseys after the warm ups. Daphne led by example, pitching the ball with pin point precision, striking out several players with each inning. However, despite their best efforts, Hall 2 Softball Girls lost to Hall 12 with a score line of 6-2.
Our Rec Chinese Chess Team lost to Hall 13 in Round 6 but masterminded a win in Round 7 against Hall 14. Sadly, after expending all their scheming tactics and using shrewd moves, it was not enough for Hall 2 to progress to the next stage.
One of our softball guys in action!
Our basketball are awesome! Just look at this(:
Our star player of softball!

Our hockey girls, each equipped with a stick and an indomitable spirit, fought their best fight, but were cracked by Hall 16. The match was intense and exciting, with Hall 2 Girls doing their best to claw back a goal. Countless shots were taken in the dying minutes of the match. Every girl on the pitch ran their legs off, shouted their lungs hoarse. Despite a defeat, we can take confidence that we were merely unlucky. Lets commend the Hockey Girls for showing their fighting spirit!
The brainest bunch of Hall 2 convened together, forming the Hall 2 Scrabble Team. We managed a win in only 1 out of 5 rounds played, but every loss was very close, only by a few points. The letters drawn were often difficult to incorporate into the board, one can say that Lady Luck was truly not on our side. The opponents constantly drew vowels and accompanying letters, making their game much simpler and easier than ours.
Hockey girls trying their very best at the pitch!
Scrabble!

One can never question the dedication of Hall 2 residents. Despite it being a Christmas Weekend, our Scrabble team stayed in Hall and many supporters came down to support the match against Hall 3 and Hall 12. We lost in both matches played. Disappointment was clear on our players' faces. Let us all encourage and cheer them on. They will be training harder for next year's IHRG and they will do us proud!
Our lovely scrabblers!(;
