Singapore Basketball Centre, Friday, July 19, 2013 — Christ Church clinched a convincing 51–12 victory over Marsiling Secondary in Round 1 of the North Zone C Division Boys’ Basketball Championship. With the victory, Christ Church finishes with a perfect 5–0 win-loss record and advances into the second round with ease.

Ignatius Lim (#10) contributed a game-high 19 points to Christ Church’s victory. Marsiling’s Teo Ming Feng (#6) poured in a team-high 6 points in the loss.

Marsiling started the game strong, capping a 6–0 run with a fast break lay up by Ming Feng (#6). Christ Church responded quickly with a 5–0 run to end the quarter trailing 5–6.

Christ Church hounded Marsiling with aggressive defence and assumed their first lead in the second quarter with a quick lay up by Ignatius (#13). Christ Church never looked back thereafter, and continued to pull away while containing the physically exhausted Marsiling squad. Marsiling had no response to Christ Church’s offensive and defensive plays.

In the fourth quarter, Christ Church dominated Marsiling 19–0 to eventually seal the game at 51–12.

Christ Church’s captain Aw Kai Jun (#12) commented: “We did well in our defence today. Our communication has to improve as we expect tougher opponents in the second round.”
