However, IERT emerged out to be the winning team with 7 wickets.

Danish made 70 runs in 50 balls only. However,BSAITM also responded heavily and they had a good start up.

Finally, BSAITM was able to chase the target and they won the match by 2 wickets.

With this ended the series of cricket matches of the day, leaving behind a more enthusiasm for the winning teams to continue their chariot of victory....................We wish luck to all teams....

Day 2: Chess

The first day of the Chess championship saw some great clashes between mindknights from various institutes across the nation. None of the players gave away their matches and fought till the very end.

The first match was between BSAEI and LDC ALLAHABAD. BSAEI won all 4 of their matches and has hence made a strong start in the league. In an another clash of brains MERI KOLKATA defeated Dr. K. N. MODI again won all 4 of their matches. The battle between KNGD MEC and BIT DURG ended on a high note as both the teams won 2 matches each and shared equal points. In the final match of the day RKGIT beat JDCT INDORE easily winning all the four matches. The captain of BSAEI said 'It is a very great experience for me to come here and perform well. There are a lot things which I have learnt from my mistakes and I am eagerly waiting for the upcoming matches'. 

A number of enthusiastic first yearites were also present at the King's Pavilion who are not in the IT team but this has not decreased their passion for Chess and improving their game. The IT team will be playing it's first game tomorrow and the players are pretty confident of living up to the expectations and win this battle of brains...

Day 2: Football

The football fever continued on the second day of the Spardha,2010 too.The red, blue and grey T-shirts again came forward to decorate the beautiful 120x80 fields of Kings' Pavillion & Rajputana ground.The morning session seemed blurred, however, the evening exhibited the excitement & beauty of football. 

Both the morning matches ended in a draw, however, the evening came up with results. IT won the match but the game was not up to the expectations of IT-JUNTA. The star team of the day was BSA who defeated Ganpati convincingly. 

There are three more days to go and the competition in the league is getting tougher.Tomorrow has got a number of new perspectives to reveal. The expectations from IT team are high.

The entire IT JUNTA is invited to come and become a part of winning team with their cheering and support.

Day 2: Hand Ball

A total of eight teams have turned up to fight for Handball supremacy. Hand of God created controversies for Maradona, but that is what all the players from these teams need right now. It is a knockout tournament that these teams have to survive. With the end of the day’s play KNGDMEC is already out of the competition along with MERI, Kolkata.

The match between IT-BHU and MERI was an enthralling encounter. While the captain played his role to perfection, the defense ably supported the attack by consistently supplying them with passes. The forwards were on a goal-scoring spree to take the match firmly in the grip of the home team. 

Volley Ball: Day 1

The first day of Volleyball witnessed great performances under the flood lights. The IT team cruised to victory crushing Galgotia college in straight sets 25-7 and 25-10. The IT team won by raising thier sweat on their serve only.In an another match SSCET,Bhilai defeated BIT Durg in straight sets with the score line 25-9 and 25-19.But the third match between MERI and K.N.MODI was sensational. The first set went to K.N.MODI 25-19 but MERI fought hard and won the second set 25-13. In the deciding set both the teams fought real hard and made all attempts to knock down the concentration of the opponents. But eventually MODI escaped a narrow victory. MERI players were not happy with the judgement of the last point which was the deciding factor of the game. The match was so close that all the spectators were in pin-drop silence and the only sound audible was the thumping of hearts...

But this was only the first day and there are more exciting clashes to come in the next four days......!!!!!!

Basketball : Day 1

Basketball,right from the start lived up to its expectations.It proved to be an excellent crowd-grosser.The onlookers had a great time witnessing some highly energetic nail-biting matches.Our IT team stamped their authority over Academy of Technology,Hoogly beating them blue and black.
