Peirce Secondary, Sunday, April 22, 2012 — Bishan East CSC 3 beat Bishan East CSC 82-30 to win their first game in the Community Games basketball tournament.

Bishan East CSC 3 led 36-14 at half time.

Sanjay Nair of Bishan East CSC 3 scored a game-high 21 points with teammates Chong Choon Kiat (15 points), Su Yan Xiang (12) and Alex Hong (10) also scoring in the double digits.

Bishan East CSC 3 had lost their first game 26-95 to Toa Payoh East CSC and their 1-1 win-loss record means they can hope for no better than second place in Group A, depending on the result of the final group game between Toa Payoh East CSC and Bishan East CSC.

The second-placed team in the group will go into a playoff for third in the Bishan-Toa Payoh Cluster.

If Toa Payoh East CSC beat Bishan East CSC in their final game, they will top Group A and qualify for the final.

“We play every Tuesday at Bishan St 12’s indoor court opposite Block 112,” said Lee Sheng Lie, captain of the Bishan East CSC 3 team. “We’ve played together for more than three years.”

Some of the team members have known each other since primary school days, having played basketball with each other in the Bishan neighbourhood they live in.

The are are a total of seven basketball teams playing in the Bishan-Toa Payoh Cluster. The top two teams in the Cluster will go on to play in the Singapore National Games scheduled for September 1st to 9th.
