A preview of the 2009 Inter-School B Division Volleyball Championship (Boys)

By Lai Jun Wei

Volleyball teams have been gearing up for next year’s Inter-School B Division Volleyball Championships with the recently concluded U-16 Volleyball Championship giving a sneak preview of who some of the strongest teams are.

We did a poll to see which schools are likely to be the Big Four schools for the B Division Volleyball Championship and the results were not surprising. The analysis below is solely based on my observations and guesses. If you have your version, please do feel free to send in your predictions for next season.

Boys

In the boys’ category, St Hilda’s Secondary did not disappoint everyone as they emerged as U-16 champions again. With their towering centre #7 guarding the net, St. Hilda’s tend to be a formidable force in stuffing out attacks, especially if he’s teamed up with another player.

With their nimble setter (#1) able to adapt quickly in various situations, the attack is given a boost as he is still able to find his mark much of the time.

But gone are the days when St. Hilda’s dominated the court and swept aside their opponents without breaking much of a sweat.

In previous years, St Hilda’s won championships without dropping a single set. This year, the team experienced several close shaves, almost falling to Xinmin in both their encounters.

But what is commendable is that they always manage to stage a comeback despite being at a disadvantage.

From the stands, there is no sign of discontent among the players and encouragement is given rather than blame when they lose a point. Perhaps this might be the motivating factor which drives them to success.

My personal take is that they most probably will be at the championship final again next year.

By Lai Jun Wei.

Choa Chu Kang Sports Hall, Sunday, November 30, 2008 – Xinmin Secondary beat Yishun Town Secondary 3-0 (28-26, 25-19, 25-21) in their 3rd/4th placing match of the 2008 National U-13 Boys Junior Volleyball Championship.

Xinmin started off on a bad note, fumbling on their receive as the holes in their defense allowed Yishun Town to draw a lead. Perhaps they had not settled in, as their attacks could not make much of an impact as well. Yishun Town took six consecutive points, before the Xinmin coach called for a time out.

The break did not seem to help much as Xinmin blocked out a Yishun Town spike upon resuming the game. But they finally managed to put a stop to Yishun Town’s scoring streak as they successfully stuffed out a spike from an attack.

Yishun Town largely held on to a lead with Xinmin having to play catch up. Xinmin came quite close to Yishun Town several times, with their #1, Jasper spearheading many of their attacks. A good serve from him brought Xinmin to just within one point of Yishun Town.

Basketball powerhouse Unity lose both matches on Day 5 of the National Championships

Story contributed by reader Ian Chew

Singapore Basketball Centre, Thursday, March 27, 2008 – Singapore Chinese Girls’ School scored a massive 48-30 win over their Unity Secondary counterparts to completely throw open Group D in the first round of the National Girls’ Basketball Championship.

It was also surprising, considering Unity had come into the match as West Zone champions, while SCGS were fighting for their lives after losing their first national round match to Bedok North Secondary.

But there was nothing surprising in the manner of SCGS’ win as they established an early 16-9 first quarter lead and extended their lead throughout the game. They were also certainly helped by a poor shooting display from the Unity forwards and took full advantage with numerous fast break conversions off Unity’s misses.
