Section 7 Lifts the Cup

The Word Cup being held by the proud winners.
Section 7 has done it.  Hamda, Nouf, Rawdh and Zainab completed their amazing Word Cup run and claimed the Word Cup as their teachers, Jane and Tuba, cheered them to victory.

The final match score shows the continued domination of section 7, as they tallied 15 points.  However, each game within the match was remarkably close.  Section 7 won seven of the nine games played, but rarely did they have more than a two word advantage and often the difference between the teams was a fraction of a second.  Section 11 came closest to the champs with Rahaf, Mahra and Fatema Hamdan managing 9 points, even though they were missing their teammate Asma who was unable to play today. Section 11 was extremely close to winning several games and upsetting the balance of power, but Noora, Aisha, Fatima and Sara were always just one or two words short of putting themselves back into the match.

Congratulations to everyone who played and all of the teachers who supported their students throughout the competition.
