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!
