Nottingham Games 2010

Nottingham Games 2010 was a day to remember! With four full buses of Warwick students, we were easily the largest contingent at Nottingham. Excitement and enthusiasm filled the air, even at 6am, as everyone looked forward to a day of perfect weather, meeting old friends, exploring beautiful Nottingham and of course, cheering on our tenacious Warwick teams.

Basketball: Edmund, Zulkarnain, Keef, Vincent, Afak, Wayne, Felix, Tze Xuan, Tony, Ming Yi, Syahir

We are thrilled to have sent players for every single sport at NMG 2010 (football, basketball, netball, volleyball, badminton, tennis, squash, table tennis, lightning snooker, lightning chess, scrabble, congkak and batu seremban). A big thank you to each player for representing Warwick, your efforts are immensely appreciated!

Our tireless Warwick supporters also definitely made an impression as we (in our red attires) were one of the loudest contingents there continually chanting and spurring on our teams by the sideline. On top of that, we had a huge red Team Warwick banner which undeniably stuck out in a crowd.

We would like to congratulate our winners for their well-deserved success:

Volleyball – Champion

Cyrus Lim, Cyrus Mok, Kenshi, Jay Ho, Jerry Zhu, Shoko, Karen Lam, Thum Wei Wen

Squash – 1st Runner Up

Edvin Lim Geok Chin

Netball – 2nd Runner Up

Farah Mat Husin, Tan Sze Yin, Cho Wen Jing, Mok Xin Ling, Germaine Kok, Nurul Izzas Mohd, Nurain Farhanah Badioezaman, Fairuz Hashim, Irina Lim

Once again, thank you to all the players for your hard work and resilience, the supporters for your never-ending encouragement and participation, and Nottingham for playing host to such a great event!

Our Warwick contingent successfully emerged 3rd overall and we were also awarded ‘Most Enthusiastic Contingent’ to boot!

We hope everyone fully enjoyed the experience, see you next year! :)

Nottingham Games 2009!

Nottingham Games 2009 was definitely one memorable day. Our contingent of two buses left Warwick at 6am- we were sleepy, half-soaked for those without umbrellas, but nevertheless in high spirits and decked in our bright red shirts and hoodies! Some of us left for Nottingham early before the weekend.

We are proud to have sent players for football, netball, basketball, badminton, squash, snooker, tennis, pingpong, chess, batu seremban and even congkak!

Effort, teamwork and time well-spent training was rewarded by the victories of our netball team and squash for girls by Ng Hui Mei – both champs. Our footballers also did a great job by going into the quarter finals against Manchester Metropolitan University. On top of it all, we are awarded for being the most sporting contingent of all MSAs in the UK. Well done everyone!

Nothing could have beat the sight of red-clad Warwick supporters cheering their hearts out for our teams all the way through.

The day in Nottingham was perfected by the presence of Malaysian food, and, as anticipated, everyone  indeed succumbed to the irresistible food. A stall opened by our own MSA members definitely was one of the most popular stalls around!

We would like to congratulate our players for their participation and extend one big BIG thank you to everyone who attended or supported, in any way, the Warwick MSA contingent to Nottingham Games 2009!

See you guys on the bus next year!

Nottingham Games 2008!

First of all, we do apologize for the extremely late report on this year’s Nottingham Games. We’ve been a lil’s busy lately what with all the Malaysia Night practices but we know that’s no excuse for slacking so we hope you all do forgive us… we’re trying our very best here! ;p

Anyway, the Warwick MSA contingent was up at ungodly hours (i.e. 6am) to catch the coach to Nottingham on the 8th of November. Footballers, netballers, basketballers, badminton players, snooker players, chess players and scrabble players all trudged onto the bus sleepy-eyed but by the time we reached Nottingham, we were all wide-eyed and determined to give it all our best and bring glory to Warwick MSA! Although it did rain intermittently throughout the day, I’m proud to say that the spirit of our members were not dampened. All the sportsmen and sportswomen of MSA were not going to let their prior training go to waste and we’re proud to say that each and everyone of them put up a good fight against their respective competitiors.

At the end of the day, we are very proud to say that Warwick MSA managed to get into the finals for Netball and clinch the 1st runner-up position! It was a heated game between Warwick Team A and Nottingham; the tension in the hall was high. We could see the weariness in the netballers but their eyes showed that they were determined to see the game through and could still go strong. Kudos to all the netball players! Aside from netball, for the first time, Warwick MSA also managed to make a name for ourselves in the chess arena; Joel who was one of the chess players managed to get a Bronze! As a bonus, Warwick MSA also managed to win the “Best Dressed Contingent” award because most of us were wearing red.

Warwick MSA would like to congratulate all the sportsmen and sportswomen for their efforts. We’re all very proud of you! We would also like to say a big thank you to the supporters; you guys rock!! Nottingham Games wouldn’t have been the same without your cheers and encouragement. Also, we would like to thank our Sports Officers Jackie and Anthony for their hard work in getting everyone together for Nottingham Games 2008.

Good work everybody!
