Fresh of the Boat, IMT Dubai’s annual sporting tournament, came to an end with the highly anticipated football match between the boys of the 2009 and 2010 batch. The energy in the air was evident by the presence of the crowd at the sidelines all set to cheer their teams. The two teams lined up by 17.40. The juniors won the toss and got to choose their side of the field. At 17.50, the match kicked off. Within the first five minutes itself, Arjun Rajashekaran from the seniors’ team managed to score the first goal of the day. The adrenaline levels were hence definitely high for both the players and the supporters right from the beginning as the juniors now had to try their best to par with their seniors while at the same time, the seniors had to make sure they continued to be ahead of the juniors. During the first half, the juniors tried their level best to score a goal of their own, but were however prevented from doing so by some pretty good defensive skills the seniors exercised. The seniors too tried their luck at scoring few more goals but were stopped from doing so by some superb saves by the juniors’ goalie. The 1st half of the game came to an end with the score of 1-0, in favour of the seniors. The second half too witnessed an action packed game, where the energy of both teams was commendable. The second half of the game also saw a player of the senior team receiving a yellow card from referee Sagar Suri. With just ten minutes for the game to end, Christopher D’Mello managed to score the second and third goal for the seniors, thus putting the seniors in a very comfortable position as the juniors had very little time to recover. The match thus ended on an exhilarating note, with the batch of 2009 undisputedly declared the champions, having a score of 3-0. A special mention must be given to the spirit and attitude of the 2010 batch during and after the game as they exhibited true sportsman spirit and fought till the end. The match ended on a friendly note, and the spirit of the sport was kept alive!
Team METH..!!
