The Malacca Bar and the Malacca Club Games 2007 was held on Saturday, 27.10.2007 at the Malacca Club Sports Complex in Tanjung Kling, Melaka. Among the games played were badminton, table tennis, netball, football and boatrace. All the players and supporters were served with high tea at 3 p.m.
The first showdown was at the badminton court. The Bar had a difficult time playing against the seasoned players from the Malacca Club. Despite the Bar’s best efforts, the Bar managed to win only 3 points out of the total of 22 points. However, a special mention must be made for our pair of Kamarul & Hafiz and Dol Bahari & Othman who won the 3 points for the Bar team with the score of 15-3, 15-0 and 15-11.
Next up was table tennis. Again, despite putting up a good fight all the way to the end, our table tennis team lost all the 5 matches.
The Bar netball team kept the Bar’s spirit alive when the gritty performances by Kugan, Raziyan, Norain, Rahimah, Adeline and Gillian led to the Bar’s victory when they thumped the opponents with a score of 7-2.
In men’s soccer, Malacca Club fired the first salvo and went ahead with a 1-0 score during the first half. After the breather, the Bar managed to come back and tied the score at 1-1. However, 10 minutes before the final whistle, the Malacca Club team gave us the fatal blow with a late goal.
After dinner, the “BOAT RACE” competition was held where Fiona, Jaspal, Kelvin, and Sundra represented the Malacca Bar. Our boat racers “rowed” hard but their “boatmanship” was not good enough to beat the Malacca Club team. The Malacca Club emerged as the Winner of the Malacca Bar and Malacca Club Games 2007. Although they have a convincing victory this year, the Bar will be back with a vengeance in 2007!
