Nottingham Sports Week

Hurray, our table tennis team, the Purple Primates, has got 2nd place in the league! it was a close call since we were tied on the number of matches (win & lose) with the Blue Buffaloes. after a strenous calculation, we pipped the Blue Buffaloes to get silver as we have won more sets.

our 3 games against the Blue Buffaloes, Red Racoons and Sassy Snakes were tough ones. we won 3-2 against the Red Racoons and lost 2-3 to the Blue Buffaloes after a close match. Sassy Snakes were a class above as they virtually won all their matches. i was more happy with my performance today although i lost all my singles matches. i just couldn't hit a right shot last thursday but still lucky enough to win both matches.

i think it would now be unrealistic for the Purple Primates to win the Nottingham Cup. the Orange Orangutans are really strong in most of the events. however, i heard that the Red Racoons are currently topping the charts. whatever it is, i just wish we don't end up last. although our CSIT community is small, but we showed that quality means more than quantity!

in addition to winning the squash event last monday, i now have a gold and a silver. not a bad way to end my sports life in uni! hope i still get a chance to play this much of sports when i enter the working life. currently, i have decided to stop going to the sports complex until i have submitted my thesis. i am so behind the schedule and hopefully my supervisor will be back on the 16th of April!
