IHG and IHRG Week 3 Updates


This week saw a couple of losses for Hall 2, but ended on a high with a double softball victory.
Wed: A dominating performance by our hall 2 hockey boys was lauded by surrounding supporters from various halls. Our boys held hall 1 in their half of their pitch, achieving over 90% possession in the game. Hall 1 jammed all their players in their defensive D in an attempt to stop our boys from scoring. Despite numerous shots, our boys were unable to score a goal. After the final whistle was blown, we headed to penalties. Captain Johnson was first up, but a smart dive from the opponents keeper prevented the goal. Our keeper Wei jie also managed to save their first shot. Next up was Nicholas Tai, a well placed shot into the top left corner left the opponent’s keeper rooted to the spot. Their second shooter squeezed a shot through Weijie’s hands. our last penalty taker was Parthi. Despite our president’s determination, the shot flew wide. Hall 1′s last player placed his shot into the top corner, rendering our keeper helpless. The game ended with a loss on penalties, 2-1.

Fri: Friday was a day of celebration for all Hall 2 residents. Our Hall 2 softball teams clinched a well-deserved double victory in the matches early this morning at Kallang diamond. Our players were up and ready even before dawn broke to take on the competition. I am beyond proud to announce that our girls beat Hall 8 hands-down with a score of 3-1 and our boys thrashed Hall 5 to a landslide 9-3 victory.

The girls were up against Hall 8 first, with Daphne displaying skilled pitching, striking out many players from the opposition.

Kenneth Sim followed with a stunning goal from outside the penalty box. Team captain Ming Long's corner kick was punched into the goal by the Hall 6 goal keeper, bringing our score to a 2-1.

The penalty kick was made and scored by Yong Geng. Arnold beat the last man and the goalkeeper and scored the final goal of the match, bringing our total score to 5 goals. Though Hall 6 tried to recover with a final goal, it simply wasn't enough to outplay us. It was a superb show of agility and teamwork guys, Hall 2 is proud of you!
