Captain's Ball Anyone?

East Spring brings out these 3 sports for you! Yesterday, 3rd August, East Spring Secondary held a Preliminary Inter-Class Competition on the account of the upcoming National Day on 9th August. It was a heated competition between the Upper secondary students for all 3 sports.

Yes, indeed, the students put aside time for the rounds yesterday in order to participate in the games. Definitely, the students were proactive and definitely there were many fierce competitions going on. Many classes showcased their class spirit be it cheering and encouraging.

The students demonstrated the YOG values during the games too, Excellence, Friendship and Respect. The students played with their ultimate might, displayed their friendship after their matches and also respected their opponents. It was a heart whelming sight to many of us. After their match, classmates from different games sprinted toward the different venues in order to give moral support to their classmates. Isn’t it encouraging?

Despite teams lost, they were not discouraged. They admitted defeat and wished their opponents good luck for their Semi Finals. Of course, the victory teams were not arrogant and were grateful for the intense match that both teams put up with. The umpires were respected and were just in the matches. After every match, the spectators cheered and gave shouts of encouragements.
"The match was super intense! I was shocked by how strong the other teams were! But I was thankful for the match that was put up with 3E2. Due to class spirit, we won with a score of 9-1. I'm so anxious for the upcoming Semi Finals on Friday! Go 3E5!"
-Rachel Tan, 3E5.


On 9th August, as East Spring is commemorating National Day, the Semi Finals and the Finals will be held. We are indeed looking forward for the intense match by the classes. Hereby, we wish all the classes Good Luck for their matches on Friday! 

  1. It was a great article written. However, it did not sound that it was talking about captain's ball as suggested by the title. The article itself covered, in my opinion, all 3 sports.So, maybe a thought of changing the title?

    Also, mayeb not displaying the score of the opponent's team? It seems like a bad image for them.

    Content is definitely enough! Gr8 language used there! (Y) ^^

  2. OHAI! Nice article you've got there. Really elaboarated very well on how the players felt after their game.You used many synonyms and your article was fluent. The way you described your article was interesting and it managed to capture a reader's attention. You have also added interviews to spice up your article.

    Maybe you can elaborate more on how the games were, like include the other sports.
