The day after their overseas playing tour came Jurong West’s first game in the Yuying-adidas Invitational League.

With their tight defense and speed in the execution of their fast-break, the Jurong West Girls led the first three quarters. In a tight fourth quarter, SAC put up a good fight till the end. The game ended with Jurong West beating SAC 47-28.

Dunman Secondary (DMS) met Fairfield Methodist (FMSS) in Round 2 of the recently concluded U-13 Volleyball Championships.

DMS proved a strong force to be reckoned with after their convicting wins in their previous matches. Jermaine (#16, FMSS) started the game with a few strong serves. Winning several points for her team, FMSS quickly took an early lead. DMS tried their very best to receive their opponents’ serve and organise an attack. Spikes by the DMS centre spikers Jia En (#2) and Claira (#11) earned several points for their team. However, the FMSS spikers managed to evade the DMS blocks many times to score. This eventually led FMSS to take the first set 25-21.
