From the first whistle to the final scoreboard, Tangerine APT played like an organisation possessed.

A brave defence, but not enough to stop the Tangerine wave.

They claimed gold in football, second in table tennis and e-sports, third in volleyball, fourth in scrabble, sixth in press conference/discipline/fanfare/most coordinated, seventh in chess, and eighth in snooker and team bonding.
