A promising debut by AVM at the District Level Carrom Competition
Team AVM participated for the first time in the District Level Inter School Carrom Competition on 23rd July at J. B. Diamond School in the under 19 category. Teams from as many as 12 schools participated in the competition. Atmiya Vidya Mandir was represented by Rahulbhai Patel, our school’s Sports Captain and Pramanikbhai Soni (both from class 10).
The first match for AVM was against Varad School from Bardoli which we managed to win very comfortably. Our team stepped up the performance as we entered in the quarter finals. The quarter final match was against Shree Vasishtha Vidhyalaya. Without much trouble again, we won that match and entered into the semifinal. The semifinal match was against G. I. P School. It was a difficult match against a good team but we showed grit to reach the final of the competition.
The final was against the team of the host school J. B. Diamond. The final, as expected, was very competitive. With the narrowest of margins, we lost against the host team. However, the loss in the final did not stop the boys from AVM to be selected for the state level competition!
Considering this was our first ever participation in an Inter School Carrom Competition, it was a proud moment for the school team to be selected for the state level.
