The International Education Week organized by the International
Inspiration Club of the Federal Science and Technical College, Yaba, ended on a
colourful note on Wednesday.

The event which got
underway on Monday with a football match between FSTC and Bright Future Science
School that ended in a 6-1 victory for the hosts, served as an opportunity for
the participants to express their leadership skills through sports and play.

On Tuesday, a seven’s rugby game was played by the boys and the
girls. The first match was played between the female rugby team from FSTC and
their counterparts from Queens College, Lagos.

The girls from Queens College were at first all fired up,
encouraged by their physical education instructor, who they fondly called
“Coachie”, but they were unable to stand up to the more technical FSTC side,
who at the end of the day, won 30-15.

The FSTC male team were however not as fortunate as they were
beaten by the boys from Kings College 17-5.

Delight

Coach of the King’s College rugby team, John Silvanus Sire,
afterwards expressed his delight at his team’s performance. “I am so happy with
the performance of my boys,” he said, before adding: “we just started practice
this year and see how well they are catching up.”

On the part of the players from FSTC, they expressed dismay at
their loss, citing a change in tactics. According to Johnpaul Nwaya, a member
of the side, “We had already practiced with 10 players because we thought we
were going to play a 10-a-side rugby. When the formation changed it got us
confused.”
