With the Mens’ Championship title still up in the air with Sheares’ 4 point lead, a strong showing at the final Track events was needed. The Eusoff guys and girls did not disappoint and capped off a winning IHG campaign by bringing home both Golds for the Track events for the first time since 2005/06. Both guys’ and girls’ captains Tony and Jessica were determined to make the most of the fact that they had strong runners from the national teams this year, and certainly trained hard. Their effort is clearly seen in how, with the exception of 3rd for the 4×100m girls, they managed a nearly clean sweep of all the track events on the last day of the 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!
