Those students are the U15 FOBISIA Team who have enjoyed an incredible week away having achieved fantastic success throughout the U15 FOBISIA Games, both individually and collectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Tuesday morning, the Vipers assembled behind their team flag, and led by team captains Guy and Margot, made their way around the pool to take their place amongst the 7 other schools ready to do battle in swimming, athletics, football and basketball over the next 3 days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a brief warm-up and some final coaching tips, it was time to kick things off with the medley relays. Racing as part of a team helped a little with the nerves and those in the tents were out of their chairs shouting encouragement for those in the water. The Vipers couldn\u2019t have asked for a better start to the swimming picking up medals in the first 3 events of the day for both boys medley relays and the girls medley relay A. These results were only the start of a continuous stream of visits to the podium to collect gold, silver and bronze medals throughout the morning. Led by Freya who picked up 2 Gold medals in the 50m Freestyle and 50m Backstroke plus silvers in the 100m IM and 50m Fly, all those who dived in earned valuable points for the school\u2019s tally. Keith and Shawn were certainly pleasantly surprised when they picked up a Bronze in the 25m Freestyle and Gold in the 50m Backstroke respectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/from-the-head-of-pe-and-sport-23-11-2019\/u15-4\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11605\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11605\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-4-1024x472.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-4-1024x472.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-4-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-4-768x354.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-4-255x118.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-4.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a>By the end of the morning, the Vipers had already collected 19 medals from 36 events! 3 Gold, 5 Silver and 11 Bronze but we would have to wait till the last night and the Gala dinner to find out if that would be enough to earn an overall place in the competition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following on from the buzz of the swimming efforts and results, the Vipers were eager to show what they were capable of in the Athletics. The coaching staff certainly had high hopes for some more impressive performances. The high jumpers got the team literally off to a \u2018flying start\u2019! Gregoire\u2019s first jump of the competition at 1.36m caused the crowd of onlookers to let a cry of disbelief as he effortlessly sailed over the bar. He went on to win the competition comfortably with a best jump of 1.54m! Ivan in the B category also won Gold making it a KIS double while Margot also won Bronze in the Girls High Jump.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From there the medals, just kept coming in quick succession. Gregoire again impressed everyone with a phenominal run in the 1500m and Romain blew his competition away as well in his heat. Another double for the Vipers! In the sprints Haziq and Ian showed their lightning speed winning with Haziq winning silver in the 100m A heat and Ian taking out Gold in the B heat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the boys were on the track the girls were also doing their bit in the field events. Margot and Freya both got medals in the Long Jump while Adriana was thrilled to stand on the podium to collect her Bronze medal for Javelin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The momentum was all going with KIS and the energy and excitement in the stands cheering on the team was amazing. It was therefore highly disappointing when a storm warning caused the competition to be suspended and all students had to return to the stands for what was an agonising 3 hour wait while we waited to find out if the competition could continue. Eventually, the decision was made that athletics would need to be cancelled. This news was hard to take as many students not having had the chance to compete.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite this disappointment the students were in great spirits after the first day of competition and were eager for the next days competitions; basketball for the boys and football for the girls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The boys basketball started with a 17-9 win in their first game. The boys played strong defence and rebounded well. Gregoire kick-started the offence with 4 quick successive points and the team used this momentum to close out the game early in the fourth quarter. The boys faced TBS (Kathmandu) in their second group game winning 21-17. Victor and Darrell drove the team forward with assertive offence from inside the paint and the team held their defence to win a hard fought game. The last group game saw the boys gain some offence rhythm and came top of the group with a 10 point win. A true team performance with exceptional teamwork and ball movement from all the players.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/from-the-head-of-pe-and-sport-23-11-2019\/u15-7\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11609\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-7-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-7-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-7-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-7-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-7-255x191.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-7.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a>The Vipers continued their outstanding play winning 38-18 in the semifinals, their first 20 point mercy win of the day. Great defence lead to fast break offence which saw Ian making some good layups. POWIIS came back in contention with back-to-back three pointers but Ben and Mark responded with some three pointers of their own. The Vipers earned their place in the final and remained unbeaten.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final saw a rematch against TBS, who came into the final game with momentum winning their previous two games by double digits. The vipers led at the end of the first quarter 6-0 as Keith\u2019s lock down defending prevented their star player from scoring. However, TBS regained the lead early in the second quarter. The lead changed numerous times throughout the next two quarters in a game between two evenly matched teams, a fantastic game for the neutral fans spectating. Fast forward to the last six seconds of the game. Vipers down by three points coming out of a timeout. Good movement and an inbound pass created a good opportunity to tie the game. Like so many shots in the fourth quarter, the ball did not fall our way after hitting the rim. Vipers gained the rebound with two\u00a0 left on the clock and a last second shot just failed to fall in. Vipers boys earned second place and are looking forward to coming back stronger next year to take the gold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the boys were on the basketball court, the girls were battling the heat of the Phuket sun and challenging day in football. Their opening game against Sri KDU was a tough and physical match to start with but the girls showed some promise particularly in the second half as their confidence started to grow but lost 3-0. They picked themselves up for the second match against The British School of Kathmandu and started strong with lots of running and pressure from Ludivine, Freya and Margot up front. Load cheers went up as Ludivine found the back of the net for our first goal of the day which really lifted the teams spirits. Unfortunately, a lapse of concentration late in the second half saw TBS equalise and the match finished as a 1-1 draw.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 3rd game, the girls were up against The British Vietnamese School of Hanoi and they started very well. The defense of Alexis, Leya and Chloe in goals were under pressure a lot in the opening minutes and then it was discovered Hanoi had been playing with an extra player! When it returned to 6 v 6 the girls were able to create a few chances with Margot getting into some good positions to take some shots but unfortunately we just couldn\u2019t find the net. Starting the second half 0-0 it was anyone\u2019s game but it was Hanoi who took their chance and scored to win 1-0.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With no rest the girls had to take the field just 10mins later against Garden Bangkok. Hungry for their first win of the day and keen to keep their chance of a 3rd place finish alive, the girls played some good football. Adriana put a lot of pressure on the Garden defence and Freya and Margot continued to work tremendously hard combining well. Margot was rewarded for her tireless pressure, scoring to put the Vipers in front at half time. Going back on for the second half, the girls had the mindset that it was 0-0 still in order to try and keep the running going and try and put another goal away to cement the win. However, lady luck just wasn\u2019t on the Vipers side as we were unable to convert chances while Garden were able to capitalise when a couple of loose balls found their way in front of goal. It was not the result the girls wanted nor deserved but unfortunately, that it sport and one of the many lessons that students can take away from this competition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/from-the-head-of-pe-and-sport-23-11-2019\/u15-11\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11613\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-11-1024x472.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-11-1024x472.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-11-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-11-768x354.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-11-255x118.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-11.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a>Lining up to face HELP in their last game of the day who had been unbeaten was not what the tired team wanted. Going a few goals down early in the first half, the girls showed tremendous resilience and strength of character to keep HIS scoreless in the second half.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the disappointment of the results, the girls still enjoyed the competition and they will certainly return as stronger footballers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Day 3 competition and the day started with the rescheduled remaining athletics program. Running on pure adrenaline, the Vipers picked up virtually well they left off. Haziq and Ian again dominated the sprints in the 200m and Romain and Kiran both took Silver in fast races for the 800m. With the boys changing over to field events and the girls switching to the track the team continued to show their depth of athleticism. Freya took Silver in the 1500m while Victor, Ben and Shawn all medaled in their throwing events. Gregoire continued his strong performance from the 1st day to win Silver in Triple Jump and Bronze in Long Jump. Special mention to Margot who after coming 3rd in the 100m A heat was told it would be rerun due to a false start by another competitor. Lining up just 5mins later she didn\u2019t have the legs to repeat the performance, robbed of a medal that she truly deserved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the end of the Athletics, the Vipers had accumulated a massive 23 medals; 6 Gold, 10 Silver and 7 Bronze! But they weren\u2019t done yet!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The girls started their basketball tournament on the last day of a long demanding Fobisia competition. With a small squad this meant they were tired, sore and drained but still managed to put in a huge effort. The Vipers started with solid team defence and held their first opponents (HELP) to only fours points, their lowest scoring game all day. However, the rim was not friendly towards the Vipers. Despite having many good looks at the basket, the ball did not fall their way and the game finished 0-4.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/from-the-head-of-pe-and-sport-23-11-2019\/u15\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11616\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11616\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-255x191.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a>The next three games saw the Vipers play the future, first, second and third placed teams, one of which was a back-to-back game. Despite this, the Vipers played great team defence and managed to push the ball up the court quickly to create some good chances, scoring a few points too in the process. In spite of this, the Vipers lost these three games but played with great intensity, producing some incredible basketball.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Vipers faced Garden International School for their last game. With some minor injuries and sore legs the Vipers started slow, conceding 8 points within the first 5 minutes. After a timeout the Vipers came back stronger, preventing GIS from scoring the remainder of the game. The excellent team defence and strong rebounding frustrated the opposition as they were unable to get the ball to the basket. The Vipers closed the gap with some outstanding passing and cutting to the basket. Their efforts were awarded with some great layup opportunities and free throw shots, but despite having a chance at the last second, the girls finished 5-8. The Vipers finished their basketball tournament with an inspiring performance and look to carry this momentum to their next basketball game in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The boys started their warm up in the toughest of ways by competing in the remaining athletics events adding more strain to their tired legs. However, the group that were in front of me for the first game were motivated and ready to perform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Game 1 vs. Garden International School Bangkok<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The boys started brilliantly winning the first group game 3-0. Despite some misplaced passes which I put down to nerves, the campaign was underway with a brace from Kiran and a third goal from Gregoire. It was a really good performance with a lot of the squad being used and everyone finished the game feeling confident and a little relieved to have the first goals and points on the board.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Game 2 vs. Sri KDU<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team went into the second game not only confident but motivated to get a second three points to almost secure our place in the semi-finals. The game was very close for most of the first half with both teams having chances, particularly Romain nearly scoring a beautiful free kick making the goalkeeper pick it out of the top corner with a fantastic save. The deadlock was broken just before halftime when the ball was loose on the edge of the box and Gregoire hit a fierce drive which deflected past the goal keeper. The boys then put on a defensive masterclass led by Guy and Kiran to see the game out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Game 3 vs. POWIIS<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our final group game came with a strange feeling as we kind of knew we would make the semi-finals but still needed a draw at least to secure it. The game was tight in the first half but it was clear it would only be a matter of time before we scored. Romain was dominating the game from central midfield and POWIIS were struggling to deal with him. Just after halftime we managed to secure that semi-final place with a fantastic goal from Marc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Semi-final vs. British School Hanoi<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What a performance! The boys were in unknown territory. Our aim was to make it out of the group and we did that without conceding a goal. The boys weren\u2019t finished there and started the game in blistering fashion and it was all started with a goal professionals would be proud of with a one-two combination involving Gregoire and Romain with\u00a0 the latter burying the ball into the bottom corner. That was only the beginning as moments later Marc doubled the lead but further to that the boys pressed and pressed with Gregoire adding the third goal. The boys played responsibly in the second half but even added a fourth goal from Ivan who beautifully lobbed the goalkeeper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Final vs Sri KDU<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The boys were going into the final undefeated against opposition that we\u2019d already beaten in a close game. We started the game a little slowly and we were 1-0 down within two minutes. This brought a reaction from the boys who literally played attacking football from start to finish with Sri KDU penned in their own half and more so in their own box. Gregoire had the ball cleared from the goal line in the final minutes from a superb header but unfortunately that was to be our last chance. Despite losing the game it could be argued that was our strongest performance. As their coach I couldn\u2019t be prouder of the boys as they gave me absolutely everything they had left after a very tiring but massively successful week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/from-the-head-of-pe-and-sport-23-11-2019\/u15-13\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11615\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-13-1024x472.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-13-1024x472.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-13-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-13-768x354.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-13-255x118.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.kis.edu.my\/kisnewsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/U15-13.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a>Well done boys!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the last night, the team could finally relax a little after 3 intense days of physically and emotionally draining competitions.
