Class Meeting 2006: Day 2

Today is a “Gibol” / “Gila Bola” / “Football Crazy” day. It’s not because today is a World Cup 2006 day, but today in Sixty Six Class Meeting 2006, all the contestant of were competing each other in football. Boys and girls were taking part of this competition. Well, although the spectators were a bit lesser then tomorrow, but the crowd still did not decreasing. Today’s matches are for the football lovers only. We were competing Girls Futsal, Panco (Arm Wrestling), and Boys Futsal today. And the crowd still stands until the last minute of every match.



At about 8.00 AM, the competition began with the Girls Futsal, continued from the first day which has not been finished. Today’s Girls Futsal was entering the semifinal competition. The first match were competing the X-D class VS XI-IPA-I class. This first match was a tough match, with the score end 2-1 for XI-IPA-I. Shiva gave the first and the second goal to XI-IPA-I, from her directed long shots, and one goal from X-D is by Faiza. Second match is, between X-F VS XI-IPS-III, and ended with the score 2-1 also. The first penalty kick of the day is given to XI-IPS-III class, which is being finished gratefully by Helen, which changed the score into 1-0. But this position didn’t stand for a long time, because the X-F class were have better strategy and changed the score into 2-1, from Fanny and Riska, which was very organized goal. This win of X-F leaded them to go to final match. At the third match, X-A class was facing XI-IPA-1. This match was also a tough match that made the referee decided a penalty round. The score took 3-2 for the XI-IPA-I class. This position, leaded XI-IPA-I class facing X-F in final round.





Before the forth match begun, I suddenly attracted to go to the front yard of Sixty Six, watched Panco (Arm Wrestling) matches. Wow, this competition, could be described a new competition, base from the last Class Meeting 2005, which didn’t exist. A student from every classes were chosen to be the candidate of Panco match, and the candidates are mostly have a strong type of physics (of course lahh..). But does anyone know, where are the first Panco matches begun in Indonesia? Or at least, why Arm Wrestling in Indonesia is being describe as Panco? Anyway, Panco match was also tough, and full of spectators. But I think the spectators didn’t as crowded as Futsal matches. Maybe because their themselves had some mercy with the participant. I thought about it too also. Why did the committee arrange a competition that only contain one person, and only depended on the muscle. At least, think about a Chess competition, which only a smart people who could be the champion. Chess is also a sport right? By the way, this competition was also interesting to see, and made a lot of spectators. This competition also went fast because each candidate only given two rounds of Panco, which is each round only spend about 10 seconds. The first winner of this competition is from XI-IPA-1, which is Usama, as the candidate, and the second winner is from XI-IPA-4, which is Alfindo. Both of them are from IPA / Science Class, which proves that, science class students is not only superior at the subjects, but also superior at physical sports. Nice!





Back to the Girls Futsal match, the forth match is the match for choosing the 3rd and the 4th champion of Girls Futsal Match. This match was between X-A and XI-IPS-III. Helen made to chance the score into 1-0 for the XI-IPS-III team, from her long shot from the center of the field, which stands into the end of the game. XI-IPS-III were given the 3rd position of the competition, and X-A were given the 4th.



Finally the judgment day came when X-F team class, and XI-IPA-I class entered the main field. The crowd was shouting enthusiasticly until the match begun. The match was very tough that, each team won’t give any chance to each other. Shiva, and her teammates were striking offensively, and at the other side, Riska, Mita, and her teammates were attacking decisively. The first match didn’t give each team any score. As the second match begun, each team was attacking each other to at least score some goal. Once there had a foul that seems cause a serious injured to person from X-F team from a person from XI-IPA-I team, the crowds were increasing harsh fully. No score that is being scored by each team, which made the referee decided a penalty round. At the penalty, round, the crowds were entering the field intentionally, which made the referee, must calmed the spectators first before the match is begun. The first kick from XI-IPA-I, is being taken by Shiva, which is didn’t make any score, which made the XI-IPA-I class supporters were stressed out, and hope for the next kick. First kick from X-F, is taken by Riska, and made a score to X-F side, which made the X-F class supporters were exposing their happiness. This Final Round was very dramatis zing, and finally X-F must give in the first champion to XI-IPA-I with the final score of penalty round 4-3 to XI-IPA-I. The crowds were very satisfied with this result.

Girls Futsal Result:
1. XI-IPA-IV
2. X-F
3. XI-IPS-III
4. X-A

As, the over of Girls Futsal competition, the match were immediately continued with the Boys Futsal competition. At this competition, the boys were competing in Futsal, as the girls did before, but the different is, the girls use an ordinary soccer ball, which is made from rubber and artificial leather, and the boys use plastic balls. This kind of decision made for preventing further injury for the boys, because, boys usually have more “spirit" of playing football than girls. But, this kind of decision is also decreased the accuracy of shooting, because plastic balls are usually have light weight, and lack of construction (plastic balls are usually sold 5.000 until 10.000 Rupiah each / same like 50 cents until 1 US$). But it also made the game more interesting, because despite the accuracy, the players must also have patients, to score the ball in to the goal post.



At the First match at the Boys Futsal Competition, is held by X-A class VS X-B class. This match was also attractive which is still in a victory atmosphere of Girls Futsal. Both of them were very tight, which made them entered the penalty round. The penalty score ended 2-0 for X-A that made them pass to the next round. Second match, is the match between science and social class, XI-IPA-I VS XI-IPS III. The score ended 1-1 as both of the score are from the penalty kick, the referee made a penalty match to both teams, which is won by XI-IPS-III class. As the next match begun, X-G were losing after XI-IPS-2 for score 1-3, and than continued by the two science rival, XI-IPA-IV VS XI-IPA-III, which is being won by XI-IPA-IV for 2-1. As the fifth match of the day, XI-IPS-IV was facing the junior X-E. This is also a tough match, and X-E team, seems dominating the match, as they won 1-0 from the goal shoot by Irfan.



Junior beats Senior. That’s a usual view of sportive competition.

The sixth match is between XI-IPS-I (my class!) VS X-C was also an interesting match to see. Two goals that are represented to the XI-IPS-I class are based on the skills of the players that they have, covered with strong strategy and good communication. The first goal, scored by Chepy as he scores “Ronaldo look-a-like” type of goal. The second goal was from Syafiul’s heading, from using the beautiful long pass from Fahmi. The team won 2-0 from X-C and passed to the next round. The seventh match, X-F met XI-IPA-II, and the match was also attract a lot of supporters as the XI-IPA-II team won after X-F, with a very unequivocally score 3-0. The goals are taken from, Dinan, Wibi, and Fachri, that leads the team to the next round. And than, X-B met XI-IPS-III, which is being won by XI-IPS-I.



As the sun kept increasing the heat, it’s also affected the players who play at the last match of the day. The tenth match, is a quarter final match between XI-IPA-II VS X-D. This was a tough match and it attracted a lot of viewers, as the last match of the day. With the stamina pumped, and patient tested the match has turned a bit emotionally to other side. As the match draw 1-1 at the first round, at the last second of the second round, X-D finally scored a goal with a long shoot, which made X-D enter the semi final round. XI-IPA-II seems to be a bit emotional at the match that made them didn’t pass the quarterfinal match.

That’s all for today’s update for Sixty Six Class Meeting 2006! Tomorrow will be held the Final Boys Futsal, and the Basketball Competition!

See you tomorow!
