Every year CMAC (Chiang Mai Athletic Conference), hosts
sports tournaments for all international schools in Chiang Mai. One such
tournament was recently held at Prem Tinsulanonda International School. The
event was hosted and directed by CDSC, the Christian German School Chiang
Mai. This was the Under 16 Football tournament.
Prem
vs. CDSC
In the competition,each team played at least four games
to decide the winners. It was really an exciting day to watch some great
footy. One by one, teams were eliminated leaving the last two teams, Prem
and NIS.
The final between these two was a grueling battle between
two very excellent teams. The passes, the shots, the attempts, the goals!
Nevertheless, Prem shocked the whole world (OK, just Chiang Mai) with an
awesome victory at the end of the day. The U16 Girls final was well played
but ended with a tie. To break the tie, the match ended with a shoot out. It
was a nerve-wracking experience watching every shot to see whether it would
break the tie. In the end however, Lanna scored the last goal and took the
gold in 2005. Every team has another chance to settle their rivalries next
school year or at the FUTSAL tournament at the end of this school year.
Results for the U16 Boys were 1st Prem, 2nd NIS, 3rd
Grace, 4th CMIS, 5th CDSC, 6th APIS, and 7th Lanna. The results for the U16
Girls were: 1st Lanna, 2nd Grace, 3rd Prem, 4th CMIS, 5th CDSC, 6th NIS and
7th APIS.
Next season sees basketball being played for CMAC tournaments.
