Interhouse Softball & Hockey 2011

After winning the House Singing Competition, Irinians were full with enthusiasm to win the next competition : Interhouse Softball. The ringing of the bell and house prefects shouting “SOFTBALL PRACTICE! OUT OF HOUSE!” were heard almost every single day as we practice hard to prepare for the competition.

It was awesome to see the students practicing so hard to prepare. Madam Yeoh turned out to be a huge help as she consistently trained us. Ms Angie and Ms Pathma took turns to help out with practices and gave tremendous support. Even Matron Ivy took part by attending to the injured people and helped them to recover fast.

The immense practices paid off when Irinah was announced champions for both Junior and Senior categories. It was amazing how one Irinah batter after another touched home base. Irinians were dominating the field with their house spirit, and cheers were heard all over the field. Everyone was ecstatic at the end, but that was just the beginning of a string of victories.

The end of the year does not only mean holidays – but it also means it was the time for our last interhouse competition for the year – Interhouse Hockey. Although we had our practices in between our examinations, everyone gave their full commitment to the practices and managed to turn up. Even the seniors who were in the midst of their examinations turned up for the match – right after sitting for her paper!

During the matches, the players were tested physically and mentally. With matches being postponed due to the bad weather and other reasons, we managed to keep up the spirit and persevered. The matches were tough, and the other houses gave a good fight, but in the end, we prevailed and won all our matches. Irinah was, yet again, crowned champions for both categories.

The dedication of Madam Yeoh, the support from Ms Angie and Ms Pathma, the help of Matron Ivy, the burning spirit of the players and the confidence injected by the other Irinians were the main reasons why Irinah emerged as champions. The cheerleaders once again showed that their support and encouragements were the main reasons why the players stayed on and did not give up.

Keep up the winning streak for this year Irinah!!
