Republic Polytechnic, Monday, February 9, 2009 – Yio Chu Kang Secondary beat Deyi Secondary 32-23 in their final game in Round One of the B Division North Zone Netball Championship to progress through to the next round of competition.
The match was an exciting one, with both teams fighting tooth and nail. Yio Chu Kang dominated the first two quarters of the match, keeping the ball in their possession by putting up a strong defence. Yio Chu Kang, however, won the game with their more confident and stronger shooters.
In the third quarter, it looked like Deyi were on the verge of a comeback after they scored more goals than Yio Chu Kang. However, despite winning that quarter, it wasn’t enough to defeat Yio Chu Kang.
In the fourth quarter, Yio Chu Kang showed their determination to keep their lead, eventually winning the game 32-23.
Yio Chu Kang will move on to play in the second round of the North Zone netball competition. They face CHIJ St Nicholas Girls, North Vista Secondary, Woodgrove Secondary, Northland Secondary and Evergreen Secondary. Good Luck!
