CMSA wins overall cup AGAIN! :)

YES! We have done it again! We have managed to continue our winning streak to win the overall cup for the second time in a row - this time on home ground! Sing... "We are the champions!!"

Hopefully we can keep our "semangat" and make it a record 3 times next year! :) Meanwhile, let us revel in the glory of being the champions!

Congratulations to those who participated... Well done to those who helped organise... Last but not least, thank you to those who supported the team during the preparation and actual Bersatu Games 2007. I'm sure I speak for all when I say that your constant support and encouragement was priceless! Hope you all managed to keep your voices!

Day 3 - Tuesday 3rd July:

Despite the wet and muddy ground at the Ilam Oval, touch rugby continued. After a few slaps here and there (even to the face!!), our TOUCH team still managed to come out on top to secure a GOLD medal... YAY!!

At night, our BOWLERS won a BRONZE medal thanks to Yani who under intense pressure managed to whip up a TURKEY (3 Strikes in a row) on the very last frame of both sets! Absolutely amazing! :)

3 cheers for Yani!

Day 4 - Wednesday 4th July:

We had a very bright and early start the next morning at 8:00am to accommodate all the remaining sports to be played.

Athletics ran outside on the Ilam Oval throughout the beautiful sunny day. Our athletics team did amazingly well, mostly getting GOLD for their events. I'm not too sure about the details of the medals. Sorry!

Anyway...

The last game played at Bersatu Games 2007 was Sepak Takraw where we came 2nd to obtain a SILVER . Congratulations to the Sepak Takraw team who managed to captivate everyone's attention, giving us an extraordinary show and managing to arise the curiousity of spectators in the Recreation Centre.

Because of the outstanding performance from these two tremendous squash players, we have bagged one more GOLD medal for Men's SQUASH and a SILVER medal for Women's SQUASH! Well done!

It was great to see so many supporters that travelled between squash, badminton and soccer despite the horrible weather towards the end of the day! Unfortunately I can only bring you photos from squash and badminton which was held in the Recreation Centre.

No doubt, the photos from soccer will be uploaded soon... once I get my hands on them anyway! Which brings me to say:

I heard that your performance was top class and you should be proud of winning SILVER! Keep your heads held high team!
