Doha College’s U15 BSME Triumph in Abu Dhabi

From 16 to 20 January, a group of dedicated Doha College pupils embarked on an extraordinary journey to Abu Dhabi, where they represented the college at the highly competitive U15 British Schools in the Middle East (BSME) Games.

Doha College placed 3rd overall across all sports, narrowly missing out on the top two spots by just a handful of points. This incredible achievement speaks volumes about our students’ dedication, resilience, and talent.

Competing against 15 of the region’s best schools, our young athletes demonstrated exceptional skill, perseverance, and sportsmanship in various sports, including boys’ and girls’ athletics, boys’ and girls’ Football, boys’ Volleyball, and girls’ Netball.

 

The road to success was not an easy one. Knowing the intensity of the competition, our students rigorously trained together since October, preparing to give their absolute best. 

Over three days of exhilarating competition, Doha College delivered stellar performances, earning the following placements:

  • Boys Football - 2nd place overall
  • Ahmed Ashour - Boys football MVP
  • Girls Football - 5th place overall
  • Boys Volleyball - 8th Place overall
  • Boys Athletics - 1st place winners
    • Ahmed Ashour - Boys athletics MVP and most decorated athlete
    • Boys triple jump - 1st Harry Gorman, 2nd Ahmed Ashour
    • Boys Shot put - 1st Ahmed Ashour
    • Boys 100m - 1st Ahmed Ashour
    • Boys 200m - 3rd Aidan Miller
    • Boys 4x 100m relay - 1st 
  • Girls Athletics - 6th place overall. 
  • Girls Netball - 5th place overall

The U15 BSME Games are more than just a competition; they are a testament to Doha College’s commitment to creating outstanding futures through holistic education. Our students not only competed but also represented our values with dignity and respect.

 

Throughout the event, they demonstrated leadership, perseverance, and teamwork—qualities that extend beyond the sports field and into their academic and personal lives. These values are at the heart of Doha College’s approach to education, ensuring our pupils grow into well-rounded individuals prepared to face life’s challenges confidently.

 

Behind every outstanding performance is a support system that fosters growth and excellence. The pupil’s achievements would not have been possible without the unwavering encouragement from parents, the PE department, and school staff. Their belief in our students’ potential was crucial to their success, reinforcing the strong sense of community and culture of kindness that define Doha College.

 

To all our athletes: congratulations on your remarkable performances! You have made Doha College proud and inspired future generations of students to embrace challenges with determination and ambition. Here’s to many more achievements in the years to come!
