And so here we were, after an arduous journey, in the soccer finals. Being part of the soccer team myself, I knew how much the guys wanted it, many of whom were playing their last ever IHG for Eusoff Hall. Not only was winning the gold medal for soccer this year worth so much more to those who would be leaving us soon, but it would also be contributing to Eusoff Hall winning the overall guys champion as well as the overall champion hall for IHG since our arch rivals, Temasek Hall, were right on our heels in the title race. Soccer, being the penultimate sport for IHG, is also the sport in which the gold medal has eluded us for at least 8 years, according to the seniors, with Eusoff losing out to Temasek last IHG.

On this bright, yellow and sunny (early!) Sunday morning, a group of 24 girls grudgingly got up, pulled on the jersey attire of bright yellow shirt and white long shorts, and with hearts beating as one, the Eusoff Floorball Girls’ team made their way to the stuffy MPSH6. Despite the droopy eyelids and sleepy expressions, nothing could mask the determination and desire emanating from this gutsy group of Eusoffians. Having achieved a commendable 3rd placing in the last IHG, these girls wanted nothing short of the GOLD today – and they were more than willing to run their lungs, heart and legs out to get it. The floorball tournament being carnival-style, the Floorball girls knew they needed more than just guts to get their GOLD. With 2.5 long months of trainings (often until late night 1am/2am), they were ready. As Yellow soldiers marching to one beat, one heart and one spirit, they swept away all obstacles – including Temasek – to clinch the IHG Floorball Girls’ CHAMPIONSHIP 0809 for Eusoff!

Muhammad Ali once said, “It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.” How true that statement was in tonight’s epic face-off between Eusoff and Temasek Hall. With TH defending last year’s netball championship, they were our mountain to climb [...]
