Warriors Calling

A message from JCRC Sports Sec. It's time for the drum call, warriors be prepared.


Dear KR Alumni,

Firstly, I would like to thank you for your undying support towards the various hall events and activities. I would especially like to show my appreciation for your support towards Kent Ridge Hall's campaign in this year's Inter-Hall Games. Your ordering of the IHG shirts have lowered the cost price of the shirts, and your generous support have allowed us to put in place several initiatives, such as improving player welfare during the Games.

I am very sure you still remember how the hall spirit really comes alive during the Inter-Hall Games. By showing each other support, cheering each other on, and consoling each other, we hope to forge a stronger and more united hall. This aim ties in with our theme this year – Warriors' Pride – which emphasizes on building a sense of pride and belonging towards the hall and the KR Family as a whole. This theme also encourages our sportsmen to have the pride to always uphold sportsmanship, but at the same time, showing a true-blue never-say-die attitude. Our punchline this year – Respect All, Fear None - further drives across this message to strive for victory while always upholding sportsmanship.

With this, I would also like to invite you to once again experience the unforgettable moments of IHG by coming down to support our KR Warriors. This season will start on the 4th of January with our takraw boys kicking off the contingent's campaign. The takraw team will face the challenges from Raffles and King Edward VII in order to proceed to the semifinals and finals which will be held on the 11th of January. The following week will also see our tennis teams in group stage action and our handball girls playing their first match on Friday. Your presence during these matches and all other events to come will be very much appreciated by our players, supporters, and all Kent Ridgeans.

Details of this week's matches are as follows:

  • Sunday, 4th Jan – Takraw Group Stages vs. RH, KE7 @ MPSH 6, 9AM
  • Monday, 5th Jan – Tennis Prelims M vs. SH @ SRC, 6.30PM
  • Tuesday, 6th Jan – Tennis Prelims F vs. TH @ SRC, 6.30PM
  • Thursday, 8th Jan – Tennis Prelims F vs. SH @ SRC, 6.30PM
  • Friday, 9th Jan – Tennis Prelims M vs. KE7 @ SRC, 6.30PM
  • Friday, 9th Jan – Handball Prelims F vs. EH @ SRC, 8PM

For those who are not able to come, don't worry! I'll be writing to you weekly, to update you on our contingent's progress and details of matches in the following week! :)

Hope to see you on Sunday!

Happy New Year!

Regards,
Adrianus Mradipta
