FORE PREMIER LEAGUE 2012

FORE Alumni Network(FAN) of FORE School of Management organized a cricket match on 19^th February 2012 as a part of the effort to reach out to the former students of the institute.  The match was held at the grounds of Gyan Bharti School,Saket. The alumni comprised of who’s who of the corporate world.

The atmosphere at the grounds was very festive and cheery with alumni sharing their experiences about the college and the corporate world with the current students who were present to cheer the players on. Amongst all this sharing of information the match began.

 The match was of 20 overs and teams were named ‘The Veterans’(above 32 years of age) and ‘ The Young Guns’(below 32). Each team also had a few current students to give them a chance to interact with the current crop of talent that FORE posseses. It was ‘The Veterans’ who were put in to bat first and scored a respectable total of 129 all out in 19.4 overs. During the innings break snacks were served and the players engaged in some friendly and good natured banter. When play resumed it was ‘The Young Guns’ time to chase down the total. At one point they were reduced to 86/6 in 14 overs. In the end, it was The Young Guns who won only with a few balls to spare. Akhil Dewan of wave 16 was adjudged ‘The Man of the Match’ and was presented with a small token. The entire match saw enthusiastic support of foreians who turned up in good number to interact with their alumni.

At the end, each alumnus was presented with a miniature bat and a cap as a token of appreciation. This entire event was much applauded and appreciated by the alumni and they said they look forward to more such events. We also have to thank the efforts of FORE Alumni Network (FAN) for their efforts in making this match a success.
