HESF Semi Final Tournament

Higher Colleges of Technology, Sharjah Women’s College (SWC) placed first in all four events at the HESF (Higher Education Sports Federation) semi finals which took place at the SWC Sports Complex on October 11, 2004. One of the few educational institutions that participated in every event, SWC competed in basketball, table tennis, badminton and chess.

Over 300 athletes and spectators were present at the event, including competing teams from University of Sharjah, Abu Dhabi Women’s College, Zayed University Dubai & Abu Dhabi, University of Wollongong, American University of Sharjah, Al Ghurair University and Ajman University.

The clean sweep was a terrific victory for Sharjah Women’s College, whose teams have been training rigorously since the beginning of semester, with coaching sessions up to three times a week.

“The commitment and talent of our athletes was apparent yesterday and we are proud of their success,” said Amal Al Maktoum, Student Services Coordinator at Sharjah Women’s College. “This commitment is the reason that SWC has won two gold medals in the HESF final tournament over the last two years,” she said.

The SWC sports teams have also secured generous, new sponsorship agreements with golden sponsor, National Bank of Dubai and silver sponsor, Al Fardan Exchange.

“We are delighted to announce our new partnerships with these prestigious organizations. We thank National Bank of Dubai and Al Fardan Exchange for their help in supporting our team,” said Al Maktoum.
