DC Sports Round-Up

U14’s QUESS Tournament:

Doha College proudly hosted the Under-14 Girls’ 7-a-side Football Tournament, featuring three competitive DC teams; DC A, DC B, and DC C, with up to 30 of our pupils participating. The event showcased an exceptional standard of football, with all schools demonstrating impressive skill and sportsmanship. In an impressive outcome, DC C emerged as champions, securing the Gold medal, followed by DC A with Silver. DC B delivered a commendable performance, finishing in fourth place. 

The U13 Girls’ Football Team delivered an outstanding performance at the QUESS Tournament, hosted at Al Khor on Monday 1st December. Competing amongst 9 other schools, Doha College demonstrated determination and consistency, as the team played back-to-back matches all the way from the group stages, to the finals. The girls conceded just one goal throughout the entire competition and developed both individually, and as a team as they progressed through to the finals. Their hard work was rewarded as Doha College were crowned QUESS Champions, securing a 1–0 victory over AKIS in a tense final. 

A huge congratulations to all the girls on an exceptional achievement in their first competitive tournament as secondary pupils, and a heartfelt thank-you to the parents who travelled to Al Khor to cheer them on. 

Our U12 and U13 girls began their QUESS League on Tuesday 2nd December with a triangular fixture against Swiss International School Doha, hosted here at Doha College. It was great to see 23 squad players involved, including several experiencing 9-a-side football for the first time.

Raghav participated in the Class B division of the Open Tournament organised by the Filipino Table Tennis Association–Qatar.

 The event featured 8 groups, and his group consisted of 7 players. Raghav topped his group and went on to win both his quarter-final and semi-final matches. He then clinched the championship title with a dominant 3–0 straight-sets victory in the finals. 

Doha College pupils were out bright and early on Sunday, 30 November, for this year’s QUESS Cross Country competition, hosted at Education City Golf Club. With 24 schools from across Qatar taking part, it was fantastic to see so many students coming together to compete in such a vibrant event.

Following competitive in-house trials, six pupils per year group were selected to represent the school. KS3 runners completed a challenging 2km course, while KS4 and KS5 athletes tackled a 4.5km route.

We are incredibly proud to announce that Doha College finished 1st overall, a testament to the hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship shown by all of our students.
