The last Inter House sports competition brought tremendous joy and excitement to the students as the sports calendar of the year 2013-14 ended with the Inter House Volleyball Competition. It was held in the week ending on the 10th of February, 2014, on the school volley ball courts and went on for 4 days. During these 4 days, many extra-ordinary performances were seen from the students. The artistic decoration made the atmosphere even more joyous.
Students were divided into three groups:
Students were divided into three groups:
- Sub-Junior group including the students of grades 5 and 6
- Junior group including the students of grades 7 and 8 and
- Senior group including the students of grades 9 and 10.
On the very first day, the competition began with poojan of Thakorji and then with the first two matches in the Sub-Junior group. The first match was played between Satyam House and Suhradam House in which Suhradam House won the game by 25-11 and the second match was played between Shivam house and Sundaram House in which Sundaram house won by 25-16. On the same day, one match was played in the Junior group, between Shivam House and Sundaram House in which Sundaram House won by a set score 2-1. Besides that, in the Senior group the first match was played between Satyam House and Suhradam House in which Satyam House won by set score 2-1. This match ended the day.
On the second day of the competition, students came back with recharged energy and enthusiasm. The first match was the 3rd place match in the Sub-Junior group between Shivam House and Satyam House, in which Shivam House secured the 3rd place by winning the game with a set score 2-0 in a best of three set match. In the Junior group, the match was played between Satyam House and Suhradam House, in which Suhradam House won by set score 2-0. Next match was played between Sundaram House and Shivam House in which Sundaram House won by set score 2-0.
The third day of the competition was pretty exciting as the final match was held in the Sub-Junior group between Sundaram House and Suhradam House, in which both the teams played equally good but it was the Suhradam House that managed to secure the 1st place in the Sub-Junior group by set score 2-1. The next match thereafter was for the 3rd place in the Junior group. This was played between Satyam House and Shivam House in which Satyam House won with a set score 2-0. After this match, the third place match in Senior group was played between Shivam House and Suhradam House in which Shivam House took away the 3rd place by winning the match with set score 2-1.
The last day of the competition saw excitement at its zenith as the two finals were played - one from Junior group and second from Senior group. The occasion was made even more special as the school principal, respected Vijay Sir and vice principal, respected Ashish Sir graced the volleyball court. Fitting to the occasion, the students gave an incredible performance as the excitement level increased by many multi folds. The day began with the first final match from Junior group between Suhradam House and Sundaram House. Both the teams performed brilliantly, as from the Sundaram House side, Mantavyabhai and Jaybhai played exceptionally well and from the Suhradam House side, Rajveerbhai and Rahulbhai kept the spirits high. But it was the efficient smashing from the Suhradam players which led to secure the first place in their group by set score 2-0. But it was not the end of the day because still the second final was left - between Satyam House and Sundaram House from the Senior category.
Both the teams looked very confident and equally matched. This was because both the teams had one marvellous smasher each, Parthbhai from Satyam House and Nirmalbhai from Sundaram House. Both these players had recently represented the school in the CBSE Inter School Competition and this time around they were to face each other in the last match of this competition. The match began with both teams countering their opponents very well. This tightly contested match reached the deciding set as both the teams won 1 set a piece. Initially, Satyam House fell behind but their rejuvenated and inspiring serving took them to equal points. They kept their nerves in the final few points of the game and narrowly beat Sundaram House.
The overall house winner position was a bit tricky as no particular house team dominated all the three categories. Following is the overall points table for the competition:
As can be seen above, the Sundaram House team captains led their teams to secure the first position in the competition. In the end, Tarun Sir concluded the competition by thanking the sports department for managing and organising such a memorable competition and the students for their louder than words enthusiasm and sportsmanship.
