The annual sports the St. Xavier's Collegiate School is perhaps one of the biggest athletics meet that is held in the city.The school organizes the annual sports every year in the month of December.This year the schedule was almost the same.The march past practice starts from about the mid November and also the practicing of our very own band to play the marching beats.The march past practices will perhaps top the student's "Most Hated" list and each and everybody cooks up their own stories to escape the practice.Even with such negative approach each year the event comes of quite well and this year was no different.As far as me getting involved in the sports I am athletically challenged but the spirit is very much alive and is bubbly with excitement before every Sports.On the noon of the 10th of December our Annual Sports commenced.This year the chief guest was our one time college student .Roosaie Jijibhuoy who was a former Team India player and a common face in the Ranji's.The former BCCI selector inaugurated the auspicious athletic meet by hoisting our school flag.The first event was March Past and it was followed the the clash of the fastest runners in the institution.Loyola ,Gonzaga.Berchmans and Britto were the four houses that sweated it out on the day.Gonzaga put up a excellent show of marching and were declared winners in the event while in 100M and 200M it was Loyola all the way.It was a flurry of medals for the blue house but even Berchmans were not to be left behind and they fought quite well .Loyola however are still the best in sports which can be very well understood by the fact that they have won the sports for the last few years and even this year they were hot favourites.The house teachers were busy encouraging their respective house and the sights of Mr.Mullick,Mr,Gomes.Mr.Biswas and Mr.D'souza blowing their lungs out in vociferous encouragement for their athletes was a special item in the event.........
For the not so fast yet exuberant boys the school had also organized events like the obstacle , wheel barrow ,three legged race which brought mush applause of the parent dominated audience.The teachers race and the musical chair for the teachers was another event that would also be a part of the happy sports memories .The exhibition relay of the house representatives was won by Berchmans.The result of the day were finally declared and it was Loyola again who emerged comprehensive winners yet again followed by Berchmans ,Britto and Gonzaga.Finally the prize distribution ceremony began.Rohit Banerjee and Boris Antony were the chief medal graspers and they were also the Best Athletes.Amit Hazra of Berchmans and Siddhant Agarwal of Loyola were jointly the best athletes for class IX.The lowering of the school flag marked the official end of the ceremony and finally the ever eventful day came to an end.Some dispersed with Cups , some with Trophies some with a jingling bundle of medals some dispersed empty hands but all the boys were happy all the minds of each and every Xaverian that day was filled with the urge of doing better the next year .Each heart was filled with the true sportsman spirit which was well reflected in the victory march that was very last event of the auspicious athletic meet.May the sports continue for the future years to come.
