Games are healthy activity for young people, and they teach us how to be good at team work, Patience, and keep us healthy. Coming to the point Sportics organized Futsal tournament 09 this year it was a nice effort by Waqas (AMM2), Shariq (TS4), Qassim (TS1) and most importantly the TISF sports coordinator, Mr. Yousaf. The tournament started on Nov 2nd 8 teams participated.

I didn’t know we had people too concerned about sports and we still don’t have inter-university sport tournaments and not only this, I didn’t even find TIP participating at inter-university tournaments by other universities, except for the one last year at Bahria University, and I even heard that to take part in that tournament team put there money on stake rather than only putting their efforts.

Well getting back to the point and cutting it short, the semifinals were played between Apparel United and Dyno Muchy Party, Apparel united won by 4-1 and qualified for the finals one the other match was between Red Devilz and Pata Nahi ( Jeetain ge ya nahi), Pata Nahi lost by 0-5  and Red devilz qualified for final.

Dear all,

Just wanted to share the phone call I got from Greenwich University…

Its like Deja Vu. 

The last time when we participated and got qualified for Zone finals was – the first time ever we were invited to participate in HEC Inter-University Sports Games in 2003-04.  There were only three teams from our zone who had agreed to participate, therefore, the matches were held on League format – Karachi University (the host), Urdu Federal University, and Textile Institute of Pakistan.  As expected, we lost to the Defending Champions of Sindh (Karachi University), but not before telling them that TIP had arrived to the HEC organized sporting arena.

The next game scheduled was with Urdu Federal University.  Since they failed to show-up at the sport we got a walk-over i.e. without a single serve being played… Thus we had “qualified” for Islamabad as the second team from our zone.  Now, being entrants without match practice, coach, game kits, timing of the events at Islamabad and shortage of adequate funds, it was concluded to conserve our energies on events within TIP and  restrict participation till localized inter-university events only. Thus, we skipped from participating at Islamabad. 

We are back in a similar position, but this time, after playing and winning both the league games.  Finals are on Friday 3pm at the Greenwich University against Mehran University.

If the team is willing to play the finals, will you come and support?

Regards

In light of the recent developments in sports, I felt that everyone should know what’s been happening and why the football team that recently went to Jamshoro is being bad mouthed. Read the rest of this entry »

The above tournament was organized by the hostel sports committee managed by Adeel Sardar in collaboration with TISF sports. There were total four teams one from each year.

The air and excitement was mounting starting from the very first ball. In the first round there where upsets when Loosees(first year) defeated Dashkrays (fourth year) while Shashka party (third year) out-performed D (second year). Read the rest of this entry »

When TIP started on the 28^th august, I was one of those people who didn’t know what to expect. There were certain “happenings” that indicated that TIP was never going to be the same as before like the cancellation of hostel accommodation for Karachi residents etc. But what really took me by storm in the very first week was the news that Greenwich University was organizing a Basketball tournament and that our university was invited to participate. When it comes to sports, Greenwich and TIP have been on very good terms and they have supported our athletes in the past when our own university hasn’t. Now, this year I became the official captain of the Basketball team and had taken it on myself along with our new coach to come up with a proper team. But on this short a notice, coming up with just a team became overwhelming. There were a number of factors working against us. A couple of senior players took a moral blow when the hostel accommodation issue came across and we learned that the players representing TIP in sports and athletics will not be given any rooms. Up until the last day, I was not sure if my wingman, who’s been with me for the past two years would play on the team. Losing him would’ve been critical but fortunately, he decided to be a team player as he always is and I thank him from the bottom of my heart. Zaid had illness issues. Adnan Dohadwala couldn’t participate because our opening match was on a “bari raat”. We didn’t have a proper starting line up as it was and now we had to hurry with the freshmen selection process.
