October 19, 2011 by Shaun

The annual IEEE Student Branch Soccer Tournament was held on the 13th of September at the University Recreational Centre.  This year marked the introduction of two new teams into the Soccer Tournament; Biomedical Engineering and Engineering Science, who proved to be determined competitors. The other competing teams in the tournament came from the specialisations: Mechatronics, Electrical, Software and Computer Systems engineering as well as a post-graduate ECE team.
The tournament lasted three hours, each game being 15 minutes long. The speed of the games built up the atmosphere within the Recreational Centre and it was evident that all the teams were focused on winning the Endace Cup for 2011. Read more
