RVRC residents took part in the Inter-House Games (IHG) from the 10th to the 12th of October 2019. The games kicked-off with e-sports where Panthera took an early lead by winning both DOTA and FIFA. Strix was crowned champions for International Chess. Panthera continued to dominate in other sports on 12 Oct, reaching the finals for all 3 sports. While they had the bragging rights after winning Captain's Ball, they were unfortunate to come out on the wrong end of two closely fought finals. After losing to Chelonia in Tchoukball after extra time, they were upset by Rusa in the deciding game for Dodgeball. For the afternoon session, Panthera were once again winners for Floorball, while Football and Frisbee saw Aonyx and Chelonia winning respectively. Chelonia grabbed the honors for the track events, winning both the men's and women's 4x100m relay. They were on course for the 4x400m mixed relay gold, but a stunning run from Aonyx's final runner Choi Min Suk saw them being crowned champions instead.

Panthera dominated both the e-sports and sports events, and were crowned overall IHG champions. There was a close fight for the remaining places, with Chelonia finishing just above Strix and Rusa, who were joint-third. The houses had fun competing and supporting their athletes at IHG, while preparing for the upcoming Inter-College Games.

 “I was very fortunate to be able to plan and organize IHG'19 together with the RVRC CSC and it has been a very enriching experience for me. I enjoyed the planning process and it gave me a sense of accomplishment to witness the success that comes from all of our efforts. Special thanks to College Master and Mr. Desmond and everyone in the IHG Committee who made this event possible!!”
