Hougang Sports Hall, Sunday, November 9, 2008 – Punggol Secondary (PSS) easily overcame an unprepared Zhonghua Secondary (ZHS) 2-0 (25-9, 25-11) in a Round 2, Group Y match at the 2008 National U-16 Boys Junior Volleyball Championship.
ZHS didn't have time to warm up as they arrived late, minutes away from a walk-over. The result was an unsettled ZHS side who found it hard to get into their rhythm during the initial stages. PSS, in contrast, was raring to go and easily took advantage of the mistakes committed by ZHS to take the first set 25-9. Although ZHS were able to put up a resistance in the second set, it was too little too late.
