PESEB, Thursday, June 28, 2012 — Fairfield Methodist School set a pace Henderson Secondary could not match to win their game 76-16 in the first round of the South Zone C Division Basketball Championship.

Fairfield captain Benedict Ng (#13) scored a game-high 22 points, while Henderson’s #15 put in 12 of his team’s 16 points.

Fairfield capitalised on Henderson’s poor passing and slower pace to consistently rack up close to 20 points each quarter. Fairfield’s tight man-on-man defence also left Henderson scoreless in the first and last quarter.

This win revives Fairfield’s hopes of making it through to the second round after a 37-46 defeat to Serangoon Garden Secondary on Tuesday, June 26th.

Benedict was proud of his team’s showing today, but was wary about being complacent against Holy Innocents’ High whom they face next on Tuesday, July 3.

“We played better than in the previous match against Serangoon. For our next match, we must strive to play as well as we did today and not be complacent,” said Benedict.

Henderson play their second match against Bishan Park Secondary on Friday, June 29th.
