Review: NCG 2009

Hello,

Do you know what is NCG? NCG means National Conference Game. Basically, it is something like Sport Carnival. However, NCG is sport event which involve all Malaysian from all state of Australia like Victoria, Queensland, NSW and etc. Rather than competing at student group level, the sports will be competed among State. That's why there was NCG Try Out to select players to represent NSW. NCG will be held in different state every year and is it NSW's turn to hold NCG.

MSA also have contributed some players to represent NSW. There were people from MSA who played Badminton, Tennis, Squash and others. I can't remember them all.

There were almost or about 500 players for NCG including NSW players. Due to the large number of people and large number of sports played from soccer to swimming even water polo, NCG was a 3 day event from 8th July to 10th July 2009.

First day was basically, the registration of players and welcoming session which include a BBQ at UTS.As expected, well-talented MSA members were invited to performance traditional dance as the entertainment of the Welcoming BBQ.

The second and third days was all about sports. Many sports were played and many volunteers were there to help out. The "unique" or the no-so-expected things to happen was, many of the volunteers were from Macquarie Unversity. Again, MSA members made MSA very proud as they continue to support MSA events. thanks a lot (have to say it a thousand time).

On the night of the last day of NCG was Malaysian Night. Basically, it was a dinner event where everyone dressed very well for a dinner where the results of NSG was release. That was the time where all winners went up stage to receive their medals. Some of the Macquarie players won some medal from some spot categories like tennis double, badminton double and squash. Again, Congratulation to all winners especially Macquarians ( Forgive me if i did get the sport categories right. I'm not very good with them.).

Last but not least, NSW won NCG again this year making NSW winning 3 times in a row. I guess NSW attracts a lot of talented sportsman and sportswomen.

Here are some photos to share with you.
