Key Stage 3 House Dodge Ball - Bangkok Prep

Key Stage 3 House Dodge Ball

The House competition had its first sporting activity of the academic year. The initial round of fixtures saw Surus face Panthera and Sabre take on the reigning House Champions Ursus. Both games were hard fought with Panthera overcoming the challenge of Surus with a strong team performance. In the other fixture a well-represented Sabre team, who had a full complement of 20 players, dispatched Ursus in spite of a dodging and catching master class by Filippo S.
The 3/4 playoff saw the might of Surus collide with Ursus. The Surus team came out of the blocks quickly and had Ursus on the ropes. But Filippo S once again helped to steady the ship communicating well with his team mates and leading by example with some excellent dodging and daring throws. His throw was the eventual knockout blow needed for Ursus to defeat a well organised Surus team.
The final was hotly contested between Sabre and Panthera. Sabre roared out of the blocks and within a minute had decimated the Panthera pack. The words of encouragement from Mr Lee and Ms O’Sullivan were clearly a galvanising tonic. However, Tom S steadied the ship and made some
tremendous catches to help his team regroup. Despite their best efforts, this was not enough and, in a war of attrition, Will P was eventually able to pin point Tom S’s leg with a canon right arm throw and victory was Sabres.

Thank you to all students for taking part in the games and helping to set up and organise the lunch time events. Special thanks to the staff who came out to offer vociferous support to their Houses. I would like to give a special mention to Malissa S, Pung Pung P, Pyn L and Khing S who organised the teams. Finally a special thank you to the staff who came out to offer vociferous support to their Houses.
