Dodgeball

January 2011

The first event of the 2011 competition was the dodgeball. It was very competitive and at times a little dangerous! Lessons were learnt about the competitiveness of teams and refereeing the games but most people enjoyed their first taste of the VC's Cup and it was great to see the halls packed with staff both playing and watching.

Congratulations to Wii not Fit from Human Resources and The Psychos from Psychology joint winners of this event.

April 2011

Racket sports included Table Tennis, Badminton, Squash & Tennis played over one week with beginners, intermediate and advanced levels. There was some discrepancies over playing levels so next year may see some form of handicap system, but the events were well supported and had a great atmosphere. The Racket Sports was eventually won by IS All Stars from Information Services.

Rounders

July 2011

Rounders made a comeback as teams of 8 played in a round robin tournament. The sportsmanship improved as everyone learnt the rules and umpiring improved. A good time was had by all, except maybe Julia from APS who after much persuasion by her team captain to play pulled a muscle and limped off after her first hit of the ball!

The event was won by the K team.
