Netball girls do us proud

There was really nothing much more we can expect from block C netball girls as they play their way into the finals and came up top against block B 13-11. But before that, lets just keep in mind that although block C seemed to have relatively easy time against block E and D in the star system, it was really the individuals' brilliances which help the team to clinch the netball gold.

Against block E, block C looked shaky at the beginning. But once the nerves settled, it was all the way forward without looking back. Chalking up points by points, block C totally dominated the play until the end. There were times when block E made couple of good blocks. However they could not make even a dent on block C's dominance. The match ended with a score 16-5 to blockC.

Block C's next opponent was block D. Without showing even the slightest hint of weakness, block C continued to dominate the play from the start till the end. The match started slow, although block C was already 3 up. At half time, the score stood at 4-1. Second half saw block C stamping its authority, blazing its way to a 14-1 score at the final whistle. With this convincing victory, a place in the final was sealed.

The final saw block C up against block B. Traditionally, there had always been intense rivalry between these two blocks. Keeping this in mind, the girls switched a gear higher and stepped up their offence. True to block B's reputation, they fought well. Block C took the early lead and maintained their lead throughout the whole match. But block B kept mounting pressure and they were always a point or two behind, as if lurking to see if block C was going to falter. But block C held up well and in the end block C came up the victor.

Special mention goes to Le Hia as she was injured during her play. Block C gives her our best wishes and hopes she gets well soon. On top of that, block C thanks the seniors who made this win possible, to Yiying and Evelyn. All in all, it was another great IBG outing for the girls on top of their track win yesterday.
