Sehwa School Festival Day 3

Well by day three the horse was well and truly beaten and thankfully the sports day began, but not without a few twists.

The games included:
The soccer and basketball finals for the boys.
Dodge ball and Soccer style baseball for the girls.
The boys competed in traditional wrestling
and both the girls and boys competed in the blue ribbon event-"Chicken Fighting".
Truly this has to be seen to be believed.

The basketball was played at a high standard but the highlight for me was the way the students in the crowd sang and cheered all day long in support of their team.

At three in the afternoon things wound up in the gymnasium and we ventured out to the athletic field. Three o'clock's always a good time to start a school athletic carnival...

The Athletics was mostly in the form of relays with most teachers stepping up to assist each team. I ran in a relay and I'm happy to report I showed glimpses of past glory days as I strode past a couple of other runners.

Finally the day and festival was over and I'm not afraid to admit I was festival-ed out. The good news was I had a four day weekend to look forward to. Thursday being Buddha's birthday which is a national holiday and Friday designated for some reason by the school to be a day off. No complaints here I was stuffed.
