In the afternoon of Sep 27th (Saturday), if you walked by the swimming pool of our university, you must cannot help yourself stopping and steeping towards the pool because atmosphere around was so passionate and people were so exciting. Right! A wonderful inter-hall aquatic competition of the Professor Edmond Ko Cup was under way.

During the competition, regardless of the hot weather, the cheering teams from each hall made every endeavor to shout support for their own team. Even if you were not a member of those teams, there was no doubt that you would be infected by their ardor and cheered together with them. Right in the swimming pool, every competitor tried their best wishing to win honor for their own halls. All the athletes were so professional that hardly could one tell who was the fastest, which making contest closely matched and the outcome was uncertain until the end.

This contest was the first competition of the Professor Edmond Ko Cup in the academic year 08/09. The various identities of participants, including the overseas exchange students promoted the friendship and communication between local and non-local students.After about six hours’ competition, there came out the result. It should be noticed that Jockey Club Humanity Hall is the double champion.
