It was another good match for the TKPS seniors despite the fact that they did not put in many goals in the last quarter. In the first quarter, the TKPS captain accidentally injured the opponents’ GD, which caused MGS to suffer in their defence.  TKPS kept scoring in the second quarter and did not allow MGS a chance of catching up. Thus, MGS played with some fear and gradually lost their confidence. However, I really think that our netball girls can improve their fitness as they were obviously exhausted in the last quarter.

As a result, both our junior and senior netball team have gone through the preliminary stage and hopefully can qualify as group winners.
