Hall 2’s netball girls came away with a credible 35-1 result against Hall 5 early this morning. Additional training since Tuesday’s match with experienced coaches ensured the team’s victory with good teamwork, fluid passing and attacking. The team was stunned when Hall 5 drew first blood soon after the start of the game but they soon settled down and gained control over Hall 5. Their confidence and determination grew as the match progressed as they made remarkable improvements in their teamwork and communication. The defence also created many chances through multiple interceptions which contributed to the score. However, there is still much room for improvement as we had capitalised on some weak passing by Hall 5 which would not happen with stronger opponents. Nevertheless, the girls have done us proud and with their new found strategies and confidence and with the team beginning to gel together, we look forward to seeing our girls pull off a victory in our next crunch game against Hall 1 for the last quarter-final slot and revenging for the narrow loss to them in the first game.


The badminton team came off with a comfortable 3-1 victory against Hall 11 earlier this afternoon. The team rested its senior players and some freshies were allowed a run against Hall 11 to gain much valuable experience. The men’s singles, women’s singles and doubles were easily won by our players with our only loss coming in the men’s doubles. Our freshies, Zhi Kai and Kendrick, put up a good fight but they were let down by some raw touches and good play by the opponents. They had started strong and won the first set but the more experienced Hall 11 players played better in the second and third set and capitalised on the boys’ weaknesses. However, it was a gallant effort and the boys will surely learn much from this experience. The team is through to the next round with two wins out of two games. The next round will see much stronger opponents but with star player Jing Ru leading the team, we hope to see off every opponent and see us obtaining the title which had eluded us last year.
