We at MJC
strive to excel both in studies and in extracurricular activities. So when we
got an opportunity to play a friendly match of football with the students of Shree
Baladevdas Kikani Higher Secondary
School we were excited. Kikani School is a very reputed school in Coimbatore
encourages and supports its students in a wide variety of sports and games. Thus
it was a privilege for us to have a friendly match with them at their grounds.
Rtn Krishna
Kumar Payal and Rtn Shafiq from Rotary Club of Coimbatore which is the sponsor
club of Rotaract and Interact Club of MJC were instrumental in organising this
match. Mr Payal and Mr Shafiq along with
few other Rotarians attended the function to cheer our team. They also arranged
for sumptuous snacks for us after the game and gifted us three footballs,
The match
was held on 30th April 2015 at the Kikani Grounds at 4 pm. Our
delegation to Kikani included the full MJC team of 26 girls from grades 8 to
12, our staff Mr. Shyam Trinath, Mrs.Poonam and a few other students from MJC
to cheer our players.
The captain
of MJC team was Lalitha Lama of class 10, a forward player. The Kikani team for
us was a formidable competition and they played really well. Our team on the
other hand fought really hard. Neither
team scored any goals during the regular time. So the game had to be decided by
penalty shootouts. In this we managed to excel and our team scored eight goals.
The opponent team could score only six goals as our goalkeeper did a fabulous
job and we emerged victorious. The penalty goals were made by Anne Joseph,
Carola(Sanu Khatun), Celesti, Joan, Jill, Lalitha and Spring(Snuti Priya).
The match
ended at 5:00 p.m. We were treated with lovely refreshments on our way back. We
were back at MJC at 7:30 p.m.
Over all, it was a great experience for all us. We
are thankful to the Kikani School, and Rotary Club of Coimbatore for this
opportunity and we pray to God that we would get more such opportunities.
