Republic Polytechnic, Monday, April 13, 2009 – Defending champions Singapore Sports School (SSP) survived a Dunman Secondary scare to top Group Y with a close 22-21 quarter-final victory in the 2009 B Division Netball Championship.
Both teams were fighting for top stop in Group Y after already qualifying for the semi-finals with wins over St. Margaret’s Secondary and Nan Hua High. The winner would avoid the daunting task of facing CHIJ Secondary (Toa Payoh) in the semi-finals.
With the victory, Singapore Sports School will play Nanyang Girls’ High while Dunman Secondary will face CHIJ (Toa Payoh).
The semi-finals will be held this Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 at Bedok Sports Hall.
