IHRG Update – Weiqi

DECEMBER 20, 2008
- Tiong Hwee

The remaining two preliminary matches for Weiqi were played out at the Hall 8 Multi-Purpose Court from 9am today.

As Hall 4 had already lost four of its first five preliminary matches during the first day of games yesterday, it was indeed a long shot for Hall 4 to progress into the semi-finals, considering the odds at stake. Nonetheless, our team was determined to give it their all. After all, the team comprised of relatively inexperienced players, some of whom only picked up the game less than three months ago, and any games against stronger opponents will prove to be invaluable experience gained for them in future IHRG seasons.

Alas, Hall 4 lost its two matches today, against Hall 14 and Hall 9. The final tally read 1-4  for both games.

While being prematurely knocked out of the competition, we are sure our Hall 4 players had utmost fun through the course of training and the matches against opponents from other Halls. It was truly a commendable job by our Hall IV Weiqi team.
