The Covid -19 Lockdown has posed challenges for sportspersons in terms of their training and daily routine. Sports tournaments prematurely has come to an end with the  GCQ Cricket team still in the fray with  the ten teams remaining matches to be played.
Significance of Sports cannot be underestimated. It plays an important role in the lives of individuals & society. Thanks to each & everyone for their co-operation, & services rendered to the college, directly or indirectly, without which it would have not been possible to achieve the desired results.
Let us pray to the almighty Lord to keep all of us safe & healthy. It is said prayer  is powerful and that’s what GCQ students start each of their practice sessions with a word of prayer. 
The great gusto with which teams cry out “GCQ CHALLENGERS!” before the start of every match, pumps that extra strength in them. Keep working hard. Let the GCQ Challengers saga continue… 
The blessings are Sweetest that are Won with Prayers and Worn with thanks…

The friendly German professor, Jans Tilman was the curator of the football documentaries and was present to interact with the audience before and after the movies. This was actually Jan’s second trip to Goa as he previously organised similar foo
