Good news - our first two teams qualified for the finals to be held on Sun 16 Apr 2006 at the Marina Square Shopping Centre!! Yay!! This year's competition was particularly stiff (the top schools have finally come in a big way), and it is wonderful that our pupils did well to make it through.
For the Prelim round, Team 1 came in 11th and Team 2 came in 22nd (the top 36 teams qualify for the finals). Team 3 - our Sec 1 Exp team - actually did very well too, coming in 53rd out of a total of 213 teams. Even Team 4 - our Sec 1 NA team - playing with only three players because two were ill, came in 192nd, more than 20 places from the bottom team.
So all in all, not a bad showing. Our Sec 1 Exp team in particular has a lot of promise, and I expect that if they continue to show the same enthusiasm and improve at the same rate, they'll definitely qualify next year.
So once again, hip hip hooray!!
