Singapore Polytechnic, Thursday, January 22, 2009 – Hwa Chong Institution swept aside Jurong West Secondary 2-0 (25-11, 25-7) in a B Division Boys West Zone Volleyball Championship match.

Hwa Chong managed to overcome Jurong West with relative ease through a stable defence and a consistent attack. Hwa Chong did not make many mistakes and forced Jurong West to crumble under the pressure.

Hwa Chong were the West Zone runners-up in 2007, but they face an uphill task in advancing to the National Championship after several of their stronger players graduated last year. Not only that, they face Bukit Panjang and Clementi Town, their biggest threats in the group.

Having only three seniors in the team and the other ranks filled by juniors, Hwa Chong will have to fight it out in the tough matches ahead.
