Our two schools have a rich tradition of successful participation in a wide variety of middle school and high school sports at the varsity, junior varsity and club levels. The Sabers teams benefit enormously from the Two Schools model, comprising of student-athletes from both OIS and SIS. Our association with international schools across Asia and domestic schools in Japan create many opportunities for both overseas and domestic competition.

2nd place in the WJAA softball tournament

 

Takako Hirai
Coach

 The WJAA softball tournament took place on the 7th and 8th of May. The first day of play was in heavy rain with desperate playing conditions: a few minutes outside had players totally wet through, pitching was done ankle deep in water, bases were islands floating in puddles, the ball spraying water as it flew through the air. The rain abated for the final game of the afternoon with things continuing to improve giving ideal conditions for the Saturday final against Marist. Unable to stop their fire power we ended up in second place.

Tears and disappointment followed the final, but half an hour later and the mood had improved (see the photo above). It is not just about the softball, but about the whole year, getting to know each other through sports and ending up with something even more precious than a winners' trophy.

HS Girls Soccer at the AISA Tournament

AISA Varsity Girls Soccer Tournament in Seoul.

 

On the 8th of April Mr Entwistle and Mr. Baig set off with 17 of SOIS’s finest sportswomen for the first AISA High School Girls Soccer Cup in Seoul.

The tournament consisted of SOIS, Yokohama International School, Sacred Heart International School (Tokyo), Seisen International School (Tokyo), Seoul International School and Korea International School.

The SOIS Sabers fought hard and were rewarded for their “never give up” attitude with a win and a draw on the first day, which put them into a semi final on the Saturday. After getting winning the semifinal through a tense penalty shoot out, SOIS found themselves in the final versus a daunting opponent – an undefeated Yokohama team!

It was a very tense and exciting final game, with SOIS scoring an equalizer in the final minute of play to force extra time. Unfortunately, there was not to be a fairy tale ending this time and Yokohama bundled the ball over to score the winner. Yokoahama IS were the worthy winners, but a lot of credit must be given to the SOIS team for their grit and determination.

Mr Baig and I were very proud to be with the team this year and look forward to seeing all the girls back next year. A special mention to the seniors and especially Lianne Terhune from OIS, who was representing the school in soccer for the 4th time!
