Football and Celebrations
What a day!
Finally the anticipated hour had arrived. 8.30am kick off.
The IFS ‘Match of the Year’: Staff vs Students.
Who would reign supreme?
The students were ready, were the staff? Absolutely! Quality, crisp, precise play was witnessed on the field and off the field, the joyful cries and taunts of the fantastic supporters could be heard up and down the sidelines.
The highly motivated students ran hard, passed well and pushed the staff to their limits. The staff’s counter-attack was commendable – fair play and clean tackles, even by Patrick! After a solid effort by all and due to the end-of-season fatigue being felt on the pitch (moreso by the staff), the game was called at a 0-0 draw. Penalty shoot outs were required.
Staff were up first and, with a goal, ensured the tension continued building. Students up next, their goal reached the net. Would there ever be a way out of this deadlock?
Final whistle – the winners of the shiny, new, inaugural IFS Staff vs Students Trophy were the STUDENTS! (Even though one of their self declared legends had missed his own penalty shot, unbelievable) Congratulations, you have secured your title of ‘The Champions’.
