NUS Sports Spectra 2007

This annual sporting competition organized for Indian youths from various Junior Colleges and Tertiary Institutions by the NUS Tamil Language Society, with the aims to interact and foster bonds with our Indian youth community, took place on Sunday 18th February 2007 at the NUS Sports & Recreation Center (SRC).

The event kicked off at 8 am and saw a total participation of 21 Soccer teams and 16 Captain’s Ball teams competing enthusiastically for the Kalan Cup. This year’s Captain’s Ball tournament saw the introduction of “Power Play” and the Shield Format. Furthermore, professional Netball Association umpires refereed the matches. These additions indeed increased the competitive spirit among players and raised the overall quality of the tournament. The Soccer tournament was further enhanced this year by the presence of the referees and talent scouts from the Football Association of Singapore (FAS).

Our girls' team came in 3rd in Captain's Ball after a fierce battle. Our guys' Soccer team did not do too bad either. They managed to pull 2 wins and nothing less than draws, considering the fact that the team was put together in just 1 month. Special thanks should go to Samy for coaching the guys' Soccer team. We may not have won the first prize but we are champions in our own right.

Well done, guys & girls!
