HFC Sports Day !

The High Flyers Club of Taylor’s College had successfully organized the first Sports Day with Sponsors event. The event saw the participation of almost 180 scholars from Taylor’s different pre-university programs, which are the Cambridge A-Levels (CAL), Canadian Pre-University (CPU) and South Australian Matriculation (SAM). The event was a success and total hit. The American Degree Transfer Programme (ADP) was unable to join this event because they will be sitting for their final exam on the next day. MARA, Petronas, Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam (JPA), Ministry of Education (MoE) and Yayasan Telekom Malaysia were among the sponsors that were invited to join the sports event.

The whole event started approximately around 8.30 a.m. with a welcoming speech by Mr. Zainal Tik, Vice President for Business Development of Taylor’s University College, followed by a short speech delivered by the program director Mohammad Amirul of the South Australian Matriculation Program. The emcee of the day was Al Falah Alhas who did a brilliant job in entertaining and controlling the crowd. The main purpose of the event is to strengthen the bond between scholars and their sponsors and to let these scholars have the opportunity to enjoy themselves in the midst of their hectic daily schedule.

The first match for futsal and netball marked the starting of the sports day event. Futsal, basketball and netball were the three major sports competition. These three sports were chosen as it is believed that these are the most popular and well known sports among youth today. Since the recreational centre was lacking of courts, the basketball competition had to be carried out after the netball competition had finished. Lucky enough for the futsal players, both males and females teams can go simultaneously since there were two separate futsal courts.

The crowds were really supportive. Students from each programme had gone all out to support their favorite teams. Some programmes had even prepared pom-poms and flags for their respective teams in order to keep the spirits of their team members high. Half way through the day, most of the matches were done and some of the winners were known by 11.30 p.m.

The finale of the whole event was the final match for both basketball and futsal for males. A-level and CPU conquered the final basketball and A-Levels had been able to defeat CPU by few points. Futsal on the other hand had a different scenario where both teams were the representatives from the sponsors. The final match was between Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam and Yayasan Telekom Malaysia which resulted in Yayasan Teleokm Mlaysia being the champion.

After the final matches ended, the prize giving ceremony started immediately as everyone was starting to get restless. For each game, the winners were given medals. Below is the result for the games:

Futsal (male): Winner: Yayasan Telekom Malaysia

1^st runner-up: JPA

2^nd runner-up: Ministry of Education

Futsal (female): Winner: SAM

1^st runner-up: CPU

2^nd runner-up:A-Levels

Netball: Winner: Ministry of Education

Everyone was satisfied with the result for these three games and finally the overall winner was announced. A-levels was the overall winner and they got the chance to bring back the challenge trophy. Their victory was unexpected as they were the team with the least number of participants. South Australian Matriculation got the second place and the Canadian Pre-University followed suit.
