Even though Games Day this year took place over the long National Day weekend, the turnout was still strong: 61 adults and 56 children showed up for the event. The annual family event, organized jointly by DSOBA and DBS Athletics Club (DBSAC), was held in a sunny afternoon at the School Field.
Our Old Boys and their family members participated enthusiastically in the various games scheduled. As usual, we had games for everyone: Old Boys, young boys and girls, and even mothers! There were individual sprints, obstacle races, spoon-and-egg races and 1-lap runs. Several heats were set up for each event, and the nursery-kindergarten group once again turned out to be the largest of all the different age groups! The 1-lap run was open to all ages and proved to be a very popular event with over 50 entries.
The races continued until dusk, and we had to cancel the last two family games in order to allow time for the medal presentation. We were honoured to have William Hill (Class of ‘64 and our School’s track-and-field record-holder), Alex Ko (Class of ‘70 and DBSAC’s Chairman) and Willie Kung (Class of ’77 and DBSAC’s Deputy Chairman) present the medals to the winners of each event.
Congratulations to all the winners! Special thanks to Cheng “Sir” and his school staff and students who made this a successful and memorable event. I would also like to thank Philip Ma (’83) for his generosity in donating toys for the event.
We hope everyone had lots of fun this year and look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
