With the cheers of the school in the background, Lennis Seow of Catholic High School steadied himself for the serve that would be the title clincher. Serve’s good… and jitters among the Fairfield team…ball shot into net… Hurray, title goes to Catholic High School!

The final was played at the Yio Chu Kang Sports Hall on 16 February at 3pm between arch rivals in the South Zone Catholic High and Fairfield Methodist Secondary. Catholic High won the match 25-15, 25-27 and 25-14. This title was all the more sweet for the volleyball team as they have lost out to Fairfield in the B Division South Zone final last year.

“We were all the more determined this year to win the South Zone B title this year as we lost out narrowly to this same Fairfield team last year. Credit to our boys who never gave up though they lost the second set as they were too anxious to win. I guess this made the evening trainings that the team had to undergo three times a week worthwhile!” exclaimed Miss Bernissa Chia, teacher-in-charge of the volleyball team.

This title also marked an early Chinese New Year gift as the C Division boys had earlier beaten Fairfield as well in a 3-set thriller. The game, held on 15 February (Thursday) at CCAB, finished 25-15, 17-25 and 25-17 in Catholic High’s favour.

Said an exhilarated Koh Zuo Quan, captain of the C team,

“We were slightly nervous before the match as 2 of our key players were benched due to disciplinary problems. However, we were determined to play well and win the game. All the players on the court rose to the occasion today, and we managed to beat our opponents due to our teamwork and perseverance!”
