SPORTS DAY 2017

The games begin with Bowling, held in the Jakarta Bowling Center in the afternoon. The matches themselves did not officially start before 15:00, but participants have been gathering for some practice and leisure games since 13:00.

10 students from various divisions partook in this particular game. They are grouped in pairs and whoever bowled the higher score from each lane advanced to the finals, where the top three are thus elected as the winners. It was not long before we have our victors: in first place, Sugeng from Digital Media Design; in second, Athifah from Fashion Business; and Amira, also from Fashion Business, won third place.

After a quick break and some additional preparations, we proceeded with the second half of this event: the Futsal and Badminton matches, which are held simultaneously at Grand Futsal Kuningan, not too far away from Jakarta Bowling Center.

The Futsal competition consists of a single match pitching two teams of five players against one another. Team A consists of Sugeng(DMD), Fajar (Photography), Faizal(Photography), Yudistira (DMD), and Syam(ID); whereas the opposing Team B includes Richie (DMD), Afraza (DMD), Kris (ID), Oka (ID), Kanda (ID). The match had two quarters and lasted for about two hours; in the end, it was Team A that emerged champion, whereas Team B received second place.

Meanwhile, at the badminton court, two main competition were held—the women’s badminton matches and the men’s. There were four players partaking the women’s matches, and three in the men’s. After a series of two-quarter matches, the victors are as following: For the women’s match, Pinky Natalia (Fashion Business) won first place, followed by Valencia Wijaya (Interior Design) and Shania (Digital Media Design) in third place; For the men’s, Wiranto “Boy” (Photography)won first place, David Jose (Interior Design) won second place, and Dika (Photography Alumni) receives third place.

Each participant are given lunch and dinner, and takes home a special towel souvenir to commemorate the event. Even after the games and in between, the participants would play off against each other in playful and casual matches, otherwise chatting as they rest in the sidelines. We believe this event has been a success in allowing the students of LaSalle to have an enjoyable time, as well as an opportunity for them to get together and know one another better.
