Sportscom, the sports committee of BIM Trichy, known for the full-fledged day and night events replete with floodlights and commentary and their first venture of the year, FREEKICK ‘08 matched more than the expectations. The event was not just one odd football match, the tournament was spread around 10 nights with 8 teams participating in it totally, 4 teams from first and second year each. The teams are as follows,

 

Group A

Raja Babu's Royal Stag - The team with grits and guts



Fat Boys Football Club(FBFC) - The team who defies convention



 Hot Shots - The brave hearts who will fight till their last breath

Dark Knights - The warriors from within

 

Group B

 

Aliens - Challengers to the core


  Predators – Champions



 

Den - The team with spirit and style



 

Kaalpandhu Kaalais - The best offence is defence



It saw a fierce battle among the teams under lights as they tried to outplay their opponents to emerge victorious. Each match saw relentless support from the crowd which set the entire campus agog.  The battle was not jus restricted to the field; each team came up with their team video showing their creative skills to attract more fans. A thrilling Grand Finale was played between the teams "PREDATORS" and "DARK KNIGHTS" which went down to the wire. "PREDATORS" triumphed and walked away with the trophy and cash prize of Rs.6000. 


The throwball event for girls FREETHROW '08 had two teams, one from 1st year and one from 2nd year. The fascinating game ended with the 2nd years emerging victorious and keeping the history unchanged and winning a prize amount of Rs.3000.

"All work and no play make Jack a dull boy". This adage holds true worldwide and that's why the Sportscom provide an opportunity for the students to take some time off their rigorous academic schedule that is binding on them.
