LSESU Kabaddi wins London Zone Championship 28 - 24, beats King’s in fnals

Our victory as the champions of London Kabaddi is a story of immense resilience and determination. Losing our opening game to the league favourites, King’s College London, we progressed the rest of the championship unbeaten. And in a glorious retributive game, we beat King’s in the nal of the tournament.

None of our players had played Kabaddi prior to coming to the LSE. With 3 of the rst team being freshers, we were very much the underdogs in the tournament.

With the guidance of our coach and LSE alumni, Tom Dawtrey, we were able to pick ourselves up from the opening game with inspired performances against a much more experienced Imperial and Kings team. Our opening raider, Milan, scored the highest points in the tournament with a 5-point raid in the nal. Enayeth, a rst-year team player, showed great bravery as one of our star defenders winning 2 all-outs in the nal. Captain Felix scored important points in the nal, with the nal score being 28 – 24 to the LSE. In the backdrop was our Welfare O cer, Britney, who ensured our team was in high spirits. We did not give up!
