The Daniel Shield
The Daniel Shield series of games were played over the weekend at VI Green. It is where the Old Boys get to play sport games against the Present Boys… The series includes football, rugby, badminton, water polo, ping pong, hockey and many more.
I played rugby for the Old Boys Team for the past 2 series… But health does not permit me to take part in this year’s series… Sounds corny huh…
Last year the Present Boys managed to conjure up an upset by beating the ‘Old Balls’. The score was 17-14… They won by a penalty kick from 30 yards out… The last time a Present Boys team won a rugby match against the OBs was when I was playing. That was in 1995… That team consisted of some of my best buddies during school days… Raff, G-Man, Shamrin, Anthony, Arman Popeye, Sek and many others…
So in this year’s series the OBs have a score to settle… I took the liberty of being the unofficial photographer as i’m not participating (tulang belakang bunyi ‘kruk kruk…’ ). The match went well for the OBs as they won by quite a margin… About 3-4 unanswered tries…
Sole representative of my 95 batch is Sek… We used to call him ‘lembu gila’ courtesy of his special ‘crazy cow’ runs… He’s still active playing though… Good for you Sek…
As for the Present Boys… There is always next year…
