Basketball Team

Our men’s basketball team put up an admirable effort, winning two games and losing 1, but unfortunately this was not enough to put us through to the Semi-Finals. Our Bowling Team and Tennis, also failed to reach the semi-finals, but all put in an excellent effort. Congrats to Bernie Keegan who got a medal for winning 7th place in the Billiard Team. It has always been a big commitment, since last year we planned to join the Labour Weekend Reunion. A lot of our time has been spent practicing, planning for this occasion. A big Thanks goes to the committee who organize this event. Their willingness to get involved and the passion , money, time and effort are the driving force to make this event a success. Also to the players and supporters of both the team and the beauty pageant, thank you for a fantastic weekend. Hope to see you all at next year’s Labour Weekend Reunion to be held in Wellington. Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat. God Bless. Chona Garcia
