Inter Church Games

(Some pictures from the first two telematches, more to follow with participants feedback!!!)

Yahoo!!! We have recently participated in the Inter Church Games where we competed with six other churches in telematches (4 churches dropped out due to prior commitments but it was still a blast for those that participated) Several good things to give thanks for:

• Wonderful weather - The weather was superb. It was cloudy yet not too cold. Wonderful weather for outdoor games
• Fun - Everybody had fun, not 'much' cheating and everybody just basically let their hair down and had fun. And on top of that nobody got injured.
• Teamwork - Everyone from the young to the old helped out!!! Tamil Methodist did not have enough members but several youths from Elim volunteered to join them and they worked together and won!!!

Well, though the results are not important...who are we kidding? Of course the results are important. The results are as follows:

• Champion: Tamil Methodist
• 1st Runner Up: Elim Gospel Hall
• 2nd Runner Up: Ipoh Wesley

Some insights on the games. We basically played all six telematches with the last three having the most 'blast'!!!

The ping pong tube was scheduled to be the third last game but while the game was on, we ran out of water to fill the tube. So we had to reschedule and change the arrangement of the games. When we finally played this game, we gave each team three pails of water (which they have used up and refilled) and added two more team members to try and close the holes in the tubes. (when we drilled holes into the tubes - 40 holes each, we have purposely placed some holes close together to prevent a single finger closing it. So it was to our surprise that the water shot out with quite a pressure and everbody got wet!!!)

We then played the balloon relay and the crazy thing is the players are as keen in getting the balloon to the back as they are in trying to burst them. Majority of the balloons burst when they caught it and some even burst in mid flight.

The Donald Duck walk was supposed to calm things down before the end, but with everyone pumped up, it was an 'incredible hulked up' donald ducks running down the hall. It was indeed a fearsome sight.

So a great time for all.
