St. Hilda’s Falcons extended their winning streak with a crushing 25-6, 25-5 defeat of Geylang Methodist (GMSS). The GMSS players hardly stood a chance as St Hilda’s pounded them with powerful spikes and strong serves.

Geylang Methodist attacks hardly got the better of the St Hilda’s players as they dug the ball out with ease. Though the GMSS players tried hard to block the St Hilda attacks, they were no match for their better skilled, better trained opponents and the game ended swiftly.
