KHO-KHO CONTINUED...

Suddenly, it was the final. And with shock, all eyes were on the sixth form team. As soon as the whistle blew, the hours of training kicked in, and we were engaged in vicious battle. But after a physically exhausting and emotionally draining match, the trophy was inevitably handed to the sixth form team.”

This was the first time in history a school team had entered the tournament and, on top of that, won. The next stage was the national competition consisting of teams from every corner of the UK. Unfortunately, the team just fell short in the semi-finals and achieved a very respectable 3rd place nationally.

Meanwhile, in school, the society continued to train hard in preparation for the biggest event of the year for AGSB Kho-Kho, the exhibition match. This was a best of 3 series between 2 teams, captained by A Amudalapalli and R Parmar, played in front of the whole school to watch. The aim of holding this event was to spread awareness about the sport and try to expand the society further throughout the school. To do this, we had two professional commentators, Y Sunderamoorthy and D Patil, explain the game as it progressed.

The turnout for the event was incredible with students from all year groups, along with many teachers filling the balcony to watch this exciting matchup. The first match commenced with Rohan’s team chasing first.
