Tennis

The day started off with the tennis girls’ singles followed by girls’doubles in the morning. Despite some of the players being rather inexperienced in tennis, our players put up a good fight with our Hall 12 opponents. They enthusiastically kept up with the game with some beautiful strokes and defences. It was evident that they had trained hard and put in great effort. The opponents capitalised upon the lack of experience and gained the upper hand. Even though we did not beat our opponents, it was definitely a great effort on our players’ part! Keep it up Girls!

In addition to the tennis female singles, the tennis mixed doubles match took place simultaneously. The Hall 12 opponents were skilled and they displayed good teamwork. Thus, they took the lead as the game progressed. Our Hall 2 players fought hard but sadly lost the game. Their hard work, however, is to be commended.

For the tennis male doubles, the game began with a bang as our players attacked aggressively and performed well. Though the Hall 12 opponents were rather formidable, they could not match up to our players who clearly had great chemistry between them. Their movements were fluid and their strokes were swift as they mounted their attacks on Hall 12’s team. The game ended in Hall 2’s favour as Hall 12 yielded under our might.

Our tennis Boys’ singles was delayed till later in the morning due to some unforeseen circumstances. Our player – Yuan Kai, was all hyped up and ready to go! Brimming with energy, he successfully launched many attacks with his different strokes and defended well. Our opponent put up a good fight though and good sportsmanship was evidently shown with Yuan Kai cheering his opponent on during the game itself! Eventually our player won Congratulations!

Overall, Hall 2 was the winner of the morning with a score of 3-2. Well done everyone!

Basketball (M)


The slick movements of the basketball players captivated the attention of all present at the court. With their cohesive team work and superior mastery of the game, it was evident that the team had put in much sweat and hard work. It was a showcase of talent as each individual player had their merits. They thrilled the crowd with their spectacular goals, leaving the Hall 8 opponents dispirited and unmotivated. Having lost their desire to win, the opponents were disorganised in their attack and the game was in the bag for Hall 2. Having defended well, our players bested the opponent with a wide margin. The score was 71 to 15. Hall 2 has now sailed past the preliminaries and we are now into the quarter finals. Congratulations to team Hall 2 for a job well done indeed!

Softball (F)

It was a good game for our Hall two’s softball girls this afternoon. With our girls’ excellent judgment when being the batters, they got to advance and complete some bases almost effortlessly when the opponent’s pitcher fouled. On the other hand, our very own pitcher- Shu Wei, had skilfully pitched the ball and strike out some of our opponents. The highlight of the game came when our player beautifully batted the ball up and away, leaving our opponent team running and dashing for the ball while our girls did a flawless homerun! Despite a strong fight put up by the opponent’s team- Hall 14, and the bad weather condition in the midst of the game, our team emerged as the winner of the game with a final score of 7-2! Well done girls!
