Inter-house games

        Today is finally Thursday and this is the day I had been waiting for the whole week. What we did today was just inter-house games but they were really exciting. There were three types of sports games in total today which are basketball, football and captain’s ball. I have no idea what captain’s ball is as I had never heard of it.

        The sport I took part was basketball and I represented black house. Our house was sure to win because our team was a little bit over powerful. The games started at about nine o’clock, right after the reading period ended. The basketball match was held in Indoor Sports Hall, the football match was held in the field and the captain’s ball was held in Multi-purpose Hall. Before the games started, Mr. Tan who was the teacher in charge of the basketball match introduced us the rules and another judge who was our basketball coach. The rules of this match were very different from the rules of a formal basketball match. It was just a half-court match and many rules from the normal basketball match were absent.

        The first match was our house against blue house. As soon as the game started, our house started to lead the game and we won the game at last as expected. After that, we won the whole rest four games before the final match. We were just a little bit away from the championship. We were against yellow house in the final match, yellow house was another very strong house which was a threat for us. Before the final match started, we thought that it would be a very tough game. However, not long after the match started, yellow house began to lose hope. In the end, our house became the championship.

        After the match, I went back to my hostel and had a rest.
