Sports Day at UCCR Brig this term was a great Success! Over 160 students from the local Hospitality Schools: Les Rosches, IHCR Le Bouveret, and UCCR Brig participated in friendly sports matches last Saturday. Overall over 350 students were competing, cheering, and enjoying the day!

Women’s soccer, Men’s soccer, Cricket, Ping- Pong, Badminton, Volleyball, and Basketball teams from each school competed throughout the day for the title of 1st place champion… until next time.

When the buses from Le Bouveret and Les Rosches pulled up, excitement and anticipation filled the air! A simple breakfast of croissants, fruit, hot chocolate, and coffee was offered, the team captain meeting was held, and the games began!

The tournament schedule was designed to fill the day, and to ensure that each team had an equal opportunity to win :)

After a few hours of playing and watching… lunch was eagerly anticipated when Chef Eugen, Chef Daniel and the rest of the kitchen team came to the rescue with BBQ!
After lunch, the games resumed and led to the finale of the day: an intense and well played basketball game between Les Rosches and UCCR Brig. Although there were a few technical difficulties, the game finally came to a conclusion in which UCCR graciously allowed Les Rosches to claim the first place title.

Rather than presenting trophies to the winning teams and players, student committee presented a bottle of champagne to the first place team and sparkling wine to the second and third place teams.

The day was a great success, and everyone who joined had a great time!

Special Thanks to Ksenia for her photography talent!
