To Joke: you mean Minister’s sons are going to ACSI now? I thought they only go to Raffles. As the older Generation always say if he or she is a top Govt Officer, he or she must be from the Raffles Family.
Dear rugby fan,
I am none wiser tho I have been around. But I know one needs a PSLE score of above 255 to get into ACSI. Those netizens must have been privy to be informed by MOE lately of the changes that admission into neighbourhood schools are raised to 255.
I think this year, the ministers’ kids ( if any ), have a wider choice, instead of all scrambling for ACSI.
LOL!
To Merempet & tohkiatshengKEN,
Sorry if I sounded ‘funny’ I was away for several years & did not follow the school’s rugby scene. So I am not sure what is happening. Heard that now you need to score same points for PSLE to get a place in BTSS & ACSI. Is this correct? Always thought it was a bit difficult to get into ACSI. Maybe I am lost after being away.
Pls keep us posted when the key players will be taking the field. I think it will benefit players from RI, SJI, AC & SA to learn from them. Without the key players they managed to obtain the highest points pass ACSI (so far this season)…one wonder what will happen if the key players were to play???
your such a funny guy LOLS
39-0! wow. maybe they should carve the cup champs acsi even b4 they play their competition LOLS!
alamak bedok town ah, make me laugh only HAHA.
damai is good.
not fantastic, all i can say is they have a good sense of urgency.
forwards are quite dominating too. always there and always there to clear it.
well, they’ve got my respect.
(:
SJI beat Damai 22-5? woah, is damai a good school? any key players?
When in any of your fantasies did any AC boy cheer for the BBTS boys?.. ( They encourage their own players whenever they let in a try…
Btw , Btss did not play their key players because we are saving them for RI , dont want anyone injured b4 we compete for the 3rd placing !
LOL.
haha, that’s quite funny.
haha, just proves that one should watch his mouth before talking rubbish.
xD
Hi Shahrel, Pls keep us posted when the key players will be taking the field. I think it will benefit players from RI, SJI, AC & SA to learn from them. Without the key players they managed to obtain the highest points pass ACSI (so far this season)…one wonder what will happen if the key players were to play???
To raffles,…
the whole lot of ACS old boys sitting there were also cheering the BTSS try as the game was getting a little boring 🙂
to shahrel,
so when are the key players going to show up? at the 3rd / 4th placing? That is so magnanimous of you to let ACS(i) win.
Btw shahrel, thank you for letting ACSI win and by such a margin. You were already so gracious the 1st time round (80-0). Shouldn’t have done it again today.
Out of curiosity, do you always play ACSI without your key players?
The try by BTSS was spectacular, and the whole ACS supporters pack cheered and applauded the try. We were all very happy for BTSS. Dont ask me why.
That isnt the winger.
It’s the in centre…he’s really the man to watch in BTSS.
SJI beat Damai 22-5, facing either Pioneer or Barker in the final.
We just let acsi win..cause there’s no way we can defeat them without our key players!
Unfortunately it’s sad news from me. Biased refereeing caused us to lose to Saints. We scored 2 tries, and Saints scored 1. 2 more tries were supposed to be ours, but the biased referee did not allow those. Saints won purely with penalties, again biased refereeing. Final score?
11-10
One point. WE DESERVED TO BEAT THEM. WE DESERVED TO FACE ACS(I) IN THE FINALS. Bloody referee!
BTW, ACS(I) capped BTSS and ended the game in 40+ min. BTSS however scored a superb try with their winger burning their WHOLE backline from their 22 to score a try, and guess what, the whole Raffles pack cheered the winger on to score the try. Don’t ask me why.
