TIG 2009

TIG is back!

TIG stands for "Trienniel Intervarsity Games". Trienniel means once every 3 years. The games involves UM, NUS, Universitas Indonesia and Hong Kong University and involves many different sports.

Unfortunately, since 1997, there has not been any TIG being held. After 12 years, its finally back!

This year it is being held in Singapore from 6-12 July 2009. UM boys will be having games on:-

7 July (Tues) HKU v UM,
9 July (Thurs) UI v UM and
11 July (Sat) NUS v UM.

All games are at 3:30pm.

Unfortunately, I am currently in the Middle East for work and was not able to lead our UM team this year. I am very fortunate that I am now being assisted by Tan Chun Pin. He has taken on the task and responsibility of Head Coach for this TIG competition, with Li Tak Wing as Assistant Coach.

I will be returning to Malaysia later ths week and Si Mou and I will be travelling to Singapore on Friday to support our UM team.

To all Ex-UM members in the southern region, do come and support out beloved UM team.
